Minister of Finance, Vahe Hovhannisyan, in the NA briefing, referred to the issue of deducting 134 thousand dollars from the state budget and purchasing an expensive LEXUS car to serve the Prime Minister's wife, Anna Hakobyan.
the minister avoided giving a clear answer to the question of its effectiveness, stating that that question should be addressed to the State Security Service.
"I am sure they will answer," said the minister.
To the journalist's question, is the mayor a more important and high-ranking official, or Pashinyan's wife, who does not hold a public position, but is served by a 2023 LEXUS, and the minister by a 2018 TOYOTA PRADO?
"I don't know who is more important," answered the minister. Regarding the observation that the ministry does not evaluate the effectiveness of spending, if they make a decision, they cannot object and disapprove, Hovhannisyan said.
"We are not talking about opportunities and each body decides which is the priority," said the Minister of Finance.
