  Armenian govt. won’t assist every newly-formed family October 4, 2012 - 14:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - During the October 4 sitting, the government of Armenia rejected an initiative to provide a one-time grant to newly formed families. As the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Artem Asatryan noted during the introduction of the project, the government continues to retain focus on the outreach to young families. However, he noted, additional work to clarify the social situation of the families would be required before specifying the families in need of the donation. “Thus the draft law applying to all the newly-formed families would be unreasonable,” the official said.
