    SUBSISTENCE LEVEL IN ARMENIA IS $65

    YEREVAN, MARCH 24, ARMENPRESS: An ordinary Armenian
    citizen has to spend 30,000 drams ($65) a month, not
    counting gas bills which are expected to rise soon ,
    as a subsistence wage, a senior member of the Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation (ARF) told a parliament
    briefing.
    Hrayr Karapetian, the secretary of the ARF faction
    in the parliament, said the faction was drafting a new
    bill on subsistence level. He then described a
    yesterday statement by Central Bank governor, Tigran
    Sarkisian that the gas price hike will lead to a one
    percent price rise in other goods as 'strange.' He
    said the faction will have to look deeper into Central
    Bank's calculations to voice its opinion.
    Galust Sahakian form the Republican party
    reiterated that the gas price rise will affect the
    entire economy, saying also that Armenia should
    exercise active efforts to seek energy independence.
