"Hayk Tsirunyan, one of the former active representatives of the ruling Civil Contract Party, is no longer on the pre-election list for these elections. The story of his friend's wife hindered his career. But, before his silent departure from the political field, his property has grown noticeably in recent years. If in 2021 the deputy stated in his declaration that he has neither an apartment, nor a plot of land, nor a car, then in just a few years his property picture has changed dramatically. plots of land, summer house, expensive car, cryptocurrency and millions of drams in cash appeared in the declarations one by one.
Tsirunyan was one of the figures who came to politics from the IT sector. Since 2001, he has worked as a programmer in various companies, and in 2014-2020 he was the co-founder and director of "Matersson" company. In 2018, he appeared in the "My Step" faction of the Yerevan Council of Elders, then in 2020 he became a deputy of the National Assembly, and in 2021 he received a mandate again, already on the CP list.
However, his name is not on the list for this election. Meanwhile, his declarations reveal an interesting picture. Year 2021 — zero real estate. He has not declared either a house, land, or car. He had 280 thousand drams in bank funds, 18 thousand dollars and 8.25 million drams in cash. The salary he received from the National Assembly was 7.3 million drams. 2022 — the first achievement. Acquires the first real estate, a plot of land in the Shengavit administrative district of Yerevan.
At the same time, he also declares a 50 percent share in "Matterson Home" LLC. Cash funds remain at the level of millions. Year 2023 - rapid expansion of property. Two plots of land in Abovyan community of Kotayk marz are being bought with values of 1.5 million and 2.5 million drams, as well as an unfinished building in Aparan community of Aragatsotn marz for 3.85 million drams. In the same year, he also declares a 2014 LEXUS car, which is under his actual ownership. 2024 — new land, new incomes. He already has 4 real estates in the declaration and acquires another plot in Aparan. In addition to the parliamentary salary, he also declares a rental income of 3.5 million drams. 2025 - already 5 real estates. The declaration mentions: a plot of land and a summer house in Aparan community of Aragatsotn marz, two plots of land in Abovyan community of Kotayk marz, a plot of land in Shengavit administrative district of Yerevan.
This time he did not declare a car, but there is 0.5 BITCOIN crypto assets. Only 170 thousand drams in bank accounts, but at the same time thousands of dollars and millions of drams in cash. In addition, he declared more than 8 million drams in credit obligations and 8 million drams in agricultural activity expenses. In fact, in just a few years, the MP's declarations changed from zero real estate to 5 units of real estate. summer house, plots of land, LEXUS car, crypto-currency and considerable cash have been added.
And in this background, another circumstance is even more remarkable: the former active CP member Hayk Tsirunyan has already been excluded from the party's list in these elections. Naturally, such an increase in the MP's assets before leaving politics raises new questions for the public. But, as he said in a conversation with "Zhoghovurd" daily, which became a meme: "There is a process in the country, brother."
