We informed that Aravot.am requested information from several officials about how they acquired their apartments, plots of land, movable property, and expensive gifts after the war. CC deputy Arman Yeghoyan submitted the first declaration in February 2019; he had 2.8 million drams. He had no movable or immovable property. In 2020, he bought a plot of land in Dilijan, and in 2021 he purchased an apartment and a garage in Kanaker Zeytun, at least, the declaration says, “buying.”
The deputy clarified. “You may write Davit Anhaght, 19, apartment 12, Kanaker Zeytuni; I didn’t buy it; I inherited it after my father’s death. My house, where I live, which belonged to my father, I inherited after his death. Also, the garage belonged to my father. It is the house where I was born and grew up, a house I received in 1987, and it is my father’s house. My father died in November 2019.” We wondered. What is the significance of the land in Dilijan, its area, and its value? He answered: “It’s land near the house, and that’s with my salary, if possible. It is 1800 meters, at Aygestan 3/10. I am not using it now; it is an empty land, meaning it is close to the house; I bought it for 5 million drams.”
CC MP Hripsime Grigoryan received a donation of a plot of land and a parking lot in the center of Yerevan in 2020. In addition, the declaration states that her husband donated real estate worth over 8 million to the MP in 2020. We asked what the reason for the donation of a plot of land and a parking lot in the center to a high-ranking government official, who is the donor, a relative, or what else is related to her if there is no risk of corruption, abuse of official position, and in particular what expensive property was gifted her by her husband was. Hripsime Grigoryan clarified.

“To build a residential house, a part of the plot belonging to my husband’s family, my husband’s grandmother donated to my husband, and the latter to me, to apply for a mortgage loan together as co-borrowers. Before the construction of the house, there was a half-built garage on the plot, which was dismantled after the construction works, but it was preserved in the title deed, so it was declared.
The property exceeding 8 million mentioned in the declaration is the land mentioned above, which my husband donated; the value was estimated by the bank in the process of formulating a mortgage, based on which the mortgage was granted (it is present in my husband’s declaration because my husband is also a declarant), the purpose of the donation to become co-owners as spouses and apply for a mortgage to build a house. My husband’s grandfather bought the land in the 1940s after repatriating from Lebanon to Armenia and built a house on the part of it where my husband’s family still lives. On the other part of the same plot, which my husband and I are co-owners of now; we are building a house with mortgage funds, the construction of which is not yet finished.”
