Nikol Pashinyan, an Armenian National Congress (ANC) MP, assessed the 2013 budget during a conversation with www.aravot.am in the following manner, “Examining the budget, it is common to say something, isn’t it? Frankly speaking, I was under the impression that this is a mothballing budget. When production buildings are to be closed, they are mothballed, in order that the process of ceasing is not very rapid and it doesn’t have respective outcome. I think that this is a mothballing budget and it is very sad. It is a disgraceful budget. When one reads the budget, one is under the impression that it is about a closing-down budget. Certainly, I will put forward the respective reasons during respective discussions in the National Assembly, but for now, my assessment is this.”
