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.

"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.
