Mourad Mouradyan, Armenia's Ambassador to Iraq since 2010, maybe
carrying out his diplomatic mission in an unstable country but his
financial holdings are more than stable.
The 51 year-old ambassador founded the BAMO construction company in
1992 and ran the firm until his diplomatic posting eighteen years
later.
In 2005 the Armenian government sold the Karen Demirchyan
Sports/Complex to BAMO.
Perhaps such business holdings are the source of the $1.120 million
he declared in his 2011 financial disclosure. He also had 12.2 million
Russian rubles ($403,120) and 25.4 million AMD in the bank.
Another amazing facet of his 2011 financial disclosure is that
Ambassador Mouradyan declared no salary at all.
Maybe he agreed to serve in Iraq on a voluntary basis? Probably not...
Maybe he just doesn't need the salary of a diplomat. In addition to
his cash holdings, Ambassador Mouradyan declared 6 million AMD and
500,000 Russian rubles as stock dividends for 2011.
