08:55 ~U 23.04.13
Serzh Sargsyan's inauguration for a second term is said to have cost
the Armenian citizens 28.67 million Drams, which is equivalent to
about 67,300 US Dollars.
The paper says, citing its sources, that the Presidential Office
paid 5.8 million Drams ($14,000) for buying only a stair-carpet,
with the reception of the foreign delegations costing more than 17
million Drams (over $40,000).
A noteworthy fact, according to the paper, is that the events were
organized by the Loma Sistema company, which is registered in the
city of Artik (Shirak region).
"We, the taxpayers, thus turn out to have paid huge sums from our
pockets, having over 30 percent of Armenia's population living in
poverty. It is worth mentioning, by the way, that the 28 million Drams
were paid from Armenia's State Budget. As to how much was spent as a
matter of fact - thanks to donations by oligarchs - remains only to
be assumed," comments the paper.
