YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 11, ARMENPRESS. A bill on compensations to the victims of the 2008 March 1-2 events in Yerevan will be introduced in parliament.

Simonyan also said that another bill is being prepared that will concern the law on time calculation in Armenian territory and will enable citizens to save up to 10% in electricity bills.
