Zaruhi Postanjyan: Government again fooled people (video)
Wouldn’t you remember about the existence of border villages but for the subversive act attempted by Azerbaijan on the border with Armenia this summer? The question was raised by independent lawmaker Edmon Marukyan in the National Assembly during the discussion of the government-proposed bill on granting privileges of tax deductions to entrepreneurs in border communities. Better late than never,” said the MP. “If you really want to help border communities you should exempt them from all taxes and reimburse the costs of utilities and compensate them for the damage caused by the enemy and pay the tuition fees of their children.” “We need to clearly fix that the privileges are in effect for 20 years’ period irrespective of legislative changes. This is especially important for attracting investors.” In her speech, Heritage party lawmaker Zaruhi Postanjyan stressed that she had many times visited the border communities where hostilities continue to this moment. “Ordinary residents should know that the bill does not grant them privileges and they will have to make the same taxes as residents in Yerevan do. The promises given by the Government do not correspond to reality, they have again fooled people, saying they will grant you privileges. The bill only refers to entrepreneurs.”
