August 6, Fineko/abc.az. At today's meeting President Ilham Aliyev gave instructions concerning the payment of money aid of 190 manats for the unemployed in August.

ABC.AZ reports that the head of state noted that 600,000 unemployed people, including those who are informally employed, temporarily lost their jobs, and belonging to low-income layers, are being taken care of by the state:

"They have already been paid an allowance of 190 manats for several months. I believe this social support should continue in the future. Currently, a strict quarantine regime is being introduced in 13 cities and districts of Azerbaijan. These districts should continue to be covered by this support. I give you instructions that 190 manats should be paid to them in August as well."
