Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan continues to oppose raising pensions, while people emphasize that the pension is not enough even to buy medicine.

“Pashinyan says a lot of things, but who takes him seriously? I am in a very bad situation, and not only me, but the whole republic,” one citizen noted.

Survey participants complained that they don’t know how to manage the 40,000 drams they receive: expenses are many, but the pension is too small.

According to most respondents, with such attitudes and statements, the country’s leadership treats the people as fools.
