"Zhoghovurd" daily writes:
"Each year, a huge amount of money, about 1.5 million dollars, is allocated from the State Budget of the Republic of Armenia for the maintenance costs of government mansions that are the residence of several high-ranking officials." Zhoghovurd daily newspaper published on the armeps.am platform of State Procurement, the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and the "Management of Government Mansions" SNOC. It is reported from the contract signed between the RA 2024 about 602 million 979 thousand drams (about 1.5 million dollars) were allocated by the state budget.
According to the law "On the provision of activities, maintenance and social guarantees of officials", the official residence is provided to the president of the republic, the prime minister, the president of the National Assembly and the president of the Constitutional Court.
But in post-revolutionary Armenia, it turns out, however, that there are cases that the officials do not even live in the government mansion allocated to them, but large sums are allocated for its maintenance from the taxes paid by proud taxpayers.
"Zhoghovurd" daily received reliable news that in the case of NA Speaker Alen Simonyan, only family members have been living in the government mansion for a long time, while the official Alen Simonyan lives separately in the Jrvezh mansion, bought after the revolution and owned by his family.
From the family photos published by Allen Simonyan's wife, Mariam Margaryan, we notice that they are mostly taken from a government mansion, and only Mariam Margaryan and her children are there.
Even on Alen Simonyan's birthday, Mariam Margaryan published a photo from their government mansion with her daughter, but Alen Simonyan was not there.
"Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper asked Movses Harutyunyan, the press secretary of the NA Speaker, how long Alen Simonyan has not been living in the government mansion allocated to a high-ranking official, but only his wife and children are there.
The press secretary explained that Alen Simonyan mostly lives in the Government mansion, but sometimes it can happen that he is also in the Waterfall mansion, where his mother also lives. Let's add: "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper is informed from the RA State Register of Voters that Alen Simonyan's mother lives in the Center at Abovyan 62a, with her other son, Karlen Simonyan.
And Alen Simonyan's neighbors continue to assure "Zhoghovurd" daily that he lives in the Jrvezh mansion, and this is noticeable, because every day his bodyguard accompanies the Speaker of the National Assembly to work from there (the photos are in our hands).
Let's note that a huge allocation is made from the actual RA state budget for the wife and children of Alen Simonyan, while the law clearly states that the country house should serve only the official. is reserved for him.
This is the second record that Alen Simonyan has mixed up the state and his own.
