Zhoghovurd: Income of Armenian ambassador to US grows illogically
‘Zhoghovurd’ paper says that the income of Armenian Ambassador to the U.S. Tatul Margarian grows at an interesting rate - by $10,000 a year. Although the ambassador receives a salary of $3,617, nevertheless $25,000 in his bank account at the beginning of 2011 increased to $35,000 at the end of the same year.
“The money in his bank account amounted to $45,000 in late 2012. At the same time the ambassador’s wife, Anahit Adumian, is considerably richer than her husband. By late 2012, she had $150,000 in her bank account,” the paper writes.
‘Zhoghovurd’ reminds its readers that Armenian Ambassador to the U.S. Tatul Margarian is the brother of Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisian, even though they have different last names.
