PRESIDENT ILHAM ALIYEV: POVERTY LEVEL FELL FROM 49 TO 16 PERCENT OVER PAST FIVE YEARS
Baku, January 1 (AzerTAc). “The number of those in poverty in Azerbaijan has reduced from 49 to 16 percent over the past five years, and I am convinced, it will be even less according to the 2008 outcomes” said President Ilham Aliyev in his greeting message to the people of Azerbaijan on World Azerbaijanis Solidarity Day and New
Year.
“However, as long as there are citizens living in poverty, the government must do everything possible to help them. That is why the targeted social assistance program will be continued, and I am sure that such social evil as poverty will be completely eliminated in Azerbaijan.”
“In 2008, minimum wage and pension were increased 50 percent, and this policy will be continued in the following years. We must do all possible for our citizens to live better” said the President.
