Zaruhi Postanjyan, a member of the Heritage parliamentary group,
is well aware of the real source of the statement allegedly made by
the Public Control initiative.

“I know they come from Robert Kocharyan’s office,” she told journalists
on Wednesday.

Mrs Postanjyan advises making public statements rather than anonymous
ones to prove the opposite – for people to understand who the
initiative members are.

The MP advises the same initiative to supervise “the feudal lords
mentioned by Kocharyan, who are more than twenty in Armenia’s
parliament.” “Among them is also the Kocharyan-assigned feudal lord
who is constantly absent from parliament,” Postanjyan said.

The Public Control initiative issued a statement on Tuesday that
Mrs Postanjyan’s proposal to raise the minimum monthly wages more
than AMD 2,500 (about $6.5) at the expense of the RA presidential
administration was nothing but a PR step. The initiative offers Mrs
Postanjyan to be first to stop taking numerous trips abroad at the
Armenian NA’s expense.

“According to the latest monitoring, she [Postanjyan] ranks the first
in terms of trips abroad at the expense of state budget, leaving
behind such record-holders as David Harutyunyan,” says the statement.

Postanjyan says that the business trips are part of her duties.

“Harder work than that we normally do. In many cases the journey takes
24 hours, and only three hours remains for meetings. I am sorry that
Armenian MPs are not fully involved in this work,” she said.
