According to Zhoghovurd daily, certain clauses in Armenia’s state budget made parliamentarians laugh.

One of the budget-stipulated clauses envisages “purposeful influence on formation of young families in the framework of 2013 demographic policy program.”

“ARF Dashnaktsutyun member, economy expert Artsvik Minasyan asked Finance Minister Vache Gabrielyan to comment on the clause above. However, the Minister was at a loss for a reply, suggesting that the issue be addressed to the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs,” the paper said.
