It turned out that the application for a new Armenia was formulated with an active motivation to reject the old one.<\/p>\n
The axis of the revolution was the mechanism of rejection, which made it necessary to take steps and build future plans by getting rid of impotence and retroactivity.<\/p>\n
\nThe mantra \u201creject\u201d is what emitted energy and moved the seemingly immersed system.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
And now, when the executive and legislative authorities no longer exist, the moment comes when, at least to remain faithful to the principle of rejection, if rejected phenomena still retain their power.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, it is incomprehensible trying to think about creating new relationships if we try to live in peace with unwanted things, considering them as traditions that need if not protection, then at least justification.<\/p>\n
For already a week, Armenia has raised the issue of bonuses. In 2019, different amounts, but widespread sums of money have been deducted as bonuses or other bonus payments in state and local self-governing bodies.<\/p>\n
The Yerevan Municipality<\/a>, for example, has allocated 474 million AMD to the bonuses, and the governors<\/a> have awarded<\/a> them to themselves.<\/p>\n
The topic of the bonuses has recently come to the attention of SRC<\/a>, after which it was clarified<\/a>, re-circulated, flared up passions again and unintentionally forced them to count money again, distribute it, sum it up and finally, ask questions.<\/p>\n
\nThe most important thing was to work transparently.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Money, of course, is always interesting to the public, regardless of the amount of money we\u2019re talking about, because money is a visible form of measurement by which (at least at this stage) the assessment of the correspondence of the state employee and the sum of money is equivalent to ideas and their execution.<\/p>\n
Also, if it can be so said, the change of the price.<\/p>\n
The head of the RA Prime Minister\u2019s Office, Eduar Aghajanyan, wrote<\/a> that these bonuses are being fulfilled, because officials often work on very heavy schedules.<\/p>\n
Lilit Makunts, head of the NA \u201cMy Step\u201d faction, came closer to the question, saying<\/a> that the governors have the right to give their own bonuses. \u201cSpeaking about the Premium Institute, the whole issue is low salaries, and the best workers need a bonus every year.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIn other words, the current desire to sit and stay in the existing system was considered natural.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The version of \u201cpersonal data protection\u201d has also been revealed, which should protect the confidentiality of individuals who have been given a bonus from the state budget.<\/p>\n
Moreover, no option was mentioned where savings of the state institution could be directed towards other goals.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made assurances<\/a> during his Facebook live, that special bonuses are part of the salary. That\u2019s how it was and that\u2019s it (until \u201cthe wages of salaries are solved\u201d) that the 13th salary is a \u201ctradition of many long years.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was ridiculous to follow how the National Assembly MPs criticize the government or the regional governorates for having given themselves bonuses.\u201d<\/p>\n
Much has been done to explain why bonuses were paid and why they were not. In parallel, the existing system was justified, which is not yet subject to change. Of course, this was done subconsciously, but it was done.<\/p>\n
\nThe unpleasant public perception of bonuses is hard to describe as \u201cfunny,\u201d which was an opportunity to check the strength of the public-authorities chain.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This is because the money that is perceived as a gift (bonus, premium, reward), and the gift of the state, requires at least reasonable judgement from the recipient. And, in the legal sense, transparent and accountable behavior.<\/p>\n
The new composition of the Armenian parliament, the government, the mayor\u2019s offices of the municipalities and various other administrative circles that has come to replace the old and rejected system in recent months and to confirm the victory of the velvet revolution, is now a more serious test than could be supposed.<\/p>\n
New people who are making changes and enjoying the trust of the majority of the public are not only officials, but in some sense bearers of new behavior, roles, and symbols.<\/p>\n
The public feeling of being ready for change is an emotional one that should not be lost.<\/p>\n
