ArmInfo. One-way air tickets from Gyumri to Larnaca are currently available at ticket offices for 2 euros, as stated by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on April 15 during a government hour in the National Assembly, when speaking about the health insurance scheme that pensioners in the country have begun to use en masse.
According to the Prime Minister, this means that pensioners can visit Larnaca for just 90 drams, meaning they can use their pensions to fly to Greek resorts. Moreover, as Pashinyan noted, the issue is not so much about new financial issues, but about the new opportunities that are being created. The Prime Minister emphasized that the minimum consumer basket requirement doesn't mean that the process has stopped once it's exceeded. There are also inflationary factors unrelated to domestic problems. Pashinyan believes that 63 is the best age not for retirement, but for starting a small business. A universal health insurance system is in place to ensure their health, while pensions should not be less than the minimum consumer basket requirement.
The Prime Minister pointed to the assistance program being developed by the Armenian government, aimed at economically activating pensioners, who will be encouraged to engage in small businesses. 63 is the best age for this, the head of government noted.
