"Until now, no employee of the City Hall has been held accountable for Tigran Avinyan's extravagant business trip to the USA. Thus, in December last year, it turned out that one VIP ticket for Tigran Avinyan's trip to Los Angeles in November cost 7 million 650 thousand drams. 8 economy class plane tickets were bought for 9 members of the delegation led by the mayor, and the mayor went to the USA in business class.
Tigran Avinyan did not deny the information, announcing during the procedural session that he learned the values after his business trip to the USA and was surprised to learn the prices.
The mayor of Yerevan blamed his employees for irresponsibility in all of that, and publicly ordered a detailed study of the purchase process to find out who is responsible for the mentioned expenses, so that "there will be consequences".
To date, in fact, there have been no "consequences". "Zhoghovurd" daily was informed by the press department of the municipality that the investigation is still underway.
For the sake of justice, we should also note that Tigran Avinyan compensated the air tickets for his business trip to America from his own funds, which amounted to 7 million 650 thousand drams.
