“Corruption Exposed: Officials Exploiting People’s Goodwill for Personal Gain”

“Zhoghovurd” daily newspaper reported that officials in Armenia are still benefiting from the generosity of the public. One example highlighted in the article is Margarit Aghazaryan, the wife of Hovik Aghazaryan, who is currently serving in the National Assembly. It was discovered that in 2022, Margarit Aghazaryan was also registered as working in the Socio-economic Center of Ecology, located in the village of Erebuni. However, it is unclear which position she currently holds. It is evident that she does not work in the National Assembly, and it is against the law for her to hold positions in both institutions simultaneously. This collaboration seems to be facilitated by Nikol Pashinyan’s influence and official position, which ensures benefits for his family. When asked for clarification, Margarit Aghazaryan responded, “Doesn’t a person have the right to work? Ask him yourself. Currently, my wife is employed, although I am not aware of the specific details of her position. She works as a line worker and not in the National Assembly. It is incorrect to depict her as working in two places, as she is not currently employed in the National Assembly.”
