Hraparak: Tsarukian does not give up what he didn’t earn

‘Hraparak’ made an attempt to clarify whether the leader of Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) Gagik Tsarukian who attended only 4-5 sittings of the autumn and spring sessions of the Armenian parliament has received his salaries or, as the parliamentary speaker promised, deductions were made from his salaries.

Tsarukian’s spokeswoman Iveta Tonoyan told the newspaper’s correspondent: “Tsarukian has never received personally his salaries as a deputy, these sums are allocated for aid”. She had difficulty answering the question about deductions from Tsarukian’s salary.

“It should be mentioned that the parliament staff receive their salaries through a card. Regardless of whether Tsarukian or his assistant received his salaries, the main thing is that he does not give up what he didn’t earn,” the paper comments.
