ZHOGHOVURD: ARMENIAN FM GOES ON TRAVELLING BUSINESS CLASS

09:31 * 20.03.15

Armenia’s FM Edward Nalbandian goes on traveling round the world only
business class.

Under a contract signed on March 10, the staff of Armenia’s Ministry of
Foreign Affairs paid a total of AMD 5,654,636 (US $11,793.76) to the
Imperia Travel Ltd for six air tickets, with a total of AMD 1,403,986
paid for the business class ticket Yerevan-Paris-Geneva-Paris-Yerevan.

An economy class ticket for the same flight is AMD 500,000 cheaper. Of
course, such a question would never have been raised if half of
Armenia’s population had not found themselves below the poverty line
due to activities of Mr Nalbandian and others of that ilk, writes
the newspaper.
