Tax paying employee number one hero in Armenia - premier 

ArmInfo. Working and tax paying citizens are number one heroes in Armenia, Prime Minister  Nikol Pashinyan wrote on his Facebook account.  

According to him, thanks to the taxes paid by citizens, schools are  built and operate, kindergartens, roads, and water pipelines are  built. All teachers, soldiers, officers, generals, all diplomats  receive their salaries thanks to the taxes they pay. Using taxes  paid, historical and cultural monuments are maintained and restored,  weapons and equipment are purchased, engineering work is carried out  on the border, soldiers are fed and clothed, pensioners receive  pensions, beneficiaries receive benefits, and medical services are  provided to hundreds of thousands of people.

"Those who work and pay taxes worked in 2023, paying taxes and fees  to the state budget in the amount of 2,222bln Armenian drams, which  is AMD 1,064bln Armenian drams (about US $2.6bln) or 92% more than in  2017 year. Low bow to the working and tax-paying citizen. His heroism  is not noticed by many, sometimes even by himself. The government  pays attention to this, I pay attention. Thank you," Armenia's  premier wrote.
