ARMENIAN NGO UNVEILS REPORT ON MILLIONAIRE MPS
16:36 06.09.13
A recent NGO monitoring of the National Assembly has focused on the
millionaire legislators and their income.
The report, which the Mandate NGO unveiled earlier on Friday, has
revealed that 20 of the 131 parliament members are USD millionaires,
with Samvel Alexanyan of the ruling Republican faction being the
second after Gagik Tsarukyan, the leader of the Prosperous Armenia
party (PAP).
The findings are based on the declarations of income which the
parliament member submitted to the Central Election Commission ahead
of the parliamentary election last year. The list reveals that the
richest parliamentary faction is the PAP whose lawmakers (36 people)
declared a total of $98.1 million income in 2012.
The Republican comes the next. The members of the ruling political
faction appear to own a total of $35.7 million.
The third is the opposition Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashanksutyun. The small faction, composed only five
representatives, declared a total of $537.677 last year.
The Rule of Law faction is the fourth, with the total income of its
six lawmakers being equivalent to $234.565 as of 2012. The seven
members of the opposition Armenian National Congress declared a total
of $169,275 income in the same period.
The last is the opposition Heritage party faction. Its five parliament
members own a total income equivalent to $118.800.
Twenty lawmakers thus appear to be millionaires in US Dollars.
Four on the top five list are representatives of the PAP faction (Gagik
Tsarukyan, Vahan Karapetyan, Gurgen Arsenyan and Grigory Margaryan).
Twenty-one lawmakers have not declared any income at all. Of them, 12
are members of the Republican, and four - of the Prosperous Armenia
faction; three are affiliated with the Heritage faction and another
two - with the opposition Armenian National Congress.
