Lilit Makunts, whose active political biography, as in the case of many CP members, began with walking with Pashinyan, has been holding the position of Pashinyan’s chief adviser since August 2025.

We learn about what the former minister, ambassador, and advisor Makunts declared in 2025, the other day from the declaration submitted by him to the Corruption Prevention Commission.

Thus, according to the declaration, he purchased an apartment worth AMD 35,296,115 from “Jermuk Group” CJSC in 2021, which he manages under joint ownership rights. It is also known from the line of the declaration: “delivered and returned loans” that the official “closed” that amount at the end of the year.

The dollar balances of Makunts bank accounts decreased at the end of the year, from 36,003.05 dollars to 19,081.84 dollars, and the dram balances doubled, from 419,861.38 drams to 1,023,737.4 drams.

Cash drams also increased, instead of zero at the beginning of the year, it was about half a million drams at the end of the year.

The annual income of the reporting year, 2025, was 1 billion 317 million 715 thousand 414 drams. The amount of this amount, even taking into account the rate of enrichment of CP members, seemed a lot. we contacted the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to verify the authenticity of the number, in response, we were told that Makunts had already written an application and informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the error in the line of income declared, according to which:
