The Prime Minister’s wife Anna Hakobyan’s visit to Brussels once again became the subject of criticism. Hakobyan did not accompany the Prime Minister during his meetings in Brussels. Therefore, her visit was of a personal nature. And the question that arose from this was who paid for the visit of the Prime Minister’s wife and daughter, Mariam, to Brussels?
A group of reporters encountered Anna Hakobyan coincidentally on the streets of Brussels during a rainstorm. Hakobyan had also written about this topic. Reporters also saw her with her daughter in a cafe, but this could not have been considered a meeting, because they were seen from outside.
Reporters did not encounter Anna Hakobyan at all after that, neither in the airplane, nor anywhere else.
The Prime Minister’s spokesperson, Vladimir Karapetyan, assured that Nikol Pashinyan’s wife’s and daughter’s visit to Brussels was not at the expense of the state budget or taxpayers. They went on the visit at their personal expense. Therefore, all worries about this topic are unnecessary.
