During his speech at the National Assembly, Nikol Pashinyan, speaking about pensioners, noted that one of the foundations of economic policy should be

increasing their economic activity. “Yes, 63 years is the retirement age, but I propose to do one more exercise: maybe 63 years is the best age to open a small or medium-sized business? Who has more knowledge about life and work,

what does a person have at 63 years old? I have given instructions to develop economic support programs for retirees, for people aged 63 and older. In the 21st century

what is 63, 65, 70, 75 years?” — Pashinyan noted. “A pensioner — and that’s it, the end? No, we need to move away from such thinking. Life doesn’t end at 63, life begins at 63,” he added.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Ermek Kosherbayev commented on the trend of “like-hearts” on social networks, which the Prime Minister follows

Armenia Nikol Pashinyan. “Each person has, as you say, his own vibe. It’s interesting, enjoyable and shows his human side. Everyone is used to the fact that a leader must be strict. Our president too, remember how he broke the board and did other things.

This is also his vibe — special in its own way,” said Kosherbaev. According to him, Kazakh officials can also afford this. «Of course they can,

try asking the ministers. Our akims (officials), as you can see, allow themselves to do similar things on their social pages,” he noted, adding that among friends and at personal meetings they also joke and show a sense of humor.
