Speaking in the European Parliament, Nikol Pashinyan identified the lack of active dialogue between the EU and Georgia as the main obstacle to Armenia's European integration. According to the Prime Minister, Georgia is a strategic 'bridge', and its candidate status has prompted Yerevan to begin the EU accession process.
According to the Unified Interdepartmental Information and Statistical System (EISIS), the average monthly wage in Ingushetia, Dagestan, and Chechnya does not exceed 50,000 rubles. This figure is significantly lower than in leading regions such as the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (209,000 rubles), Magadan Oblast (179,000), Moscow (173,000), Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (168,000), and Kamchatka Krai (164,000).
In several other regions, including the Zabaykalsky Krai, St. Petersburg, and the Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrugs, the average salary exceeds 100,000 rubles.
It should be noted that the average monthly nominal accrued wage is calculated by dividing its total fund by the average headcount of employees and the number of months in the period under review.
