Prosecutors resigned because of low salaries
According to the information at the "Zhoghovurd" disposal, the prosecutors that handed in their resignations made that step because of low salaries.
Artak Kalashyan, Military Prosecutor of the Yerevan garrison, and Emil Harutyunyan, Prosecutor of the Erebuni and Nubarashen communities, handed in their resignations, which were accepted on June 17.
According to the Law on salaries of government officials, the prosecutors’ salaries without deductions and increments are AMD 1,297,000 (US $ 2,736). However, their “net” salary is AMD 210,000 ($443).
So the post of prosecutor is not so attractive to young lawyers unless they intend to take bribes.
