YEREVAN, June 23. /ARKA/. The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of Armenia will be renamed, announced Minister Arsen Torosyan.

"There is an idea to rename the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs to the Ministry of Labor and Welfare in the near future. Changes in the functions of the Unified Social Service are also expected in the future," Torosyan noted at a working meeting on Tuesday.
