According to the publications, Ararat Mirzoyan tried to mislead the citizens. According to him, the deputies receive a salary of 450,000 drams. Addressing this topic, the news outlet wrote: “According to the RA Law on Remuneration of Persons Holding Public and Civil Service Positions, it amounts to 661,400 (net 509,278) AMD, in addition 50,000 drams for not doing anything, which is called expenses related to parliamentary activities.”

In relation to the law on confiscation of illegal property, Ararat Mirzoyan noted that if there are former figures who will come and say that the things were that way during the previous game, now take the money we misappropriated, we will accept it. “It’s not good that they violated the law, but they somehow did it and accumulated illegal wealth. They will come and say, “It was accepted that way, don’t judge us, take this much, I’ve misappropriated it, take it and let me work.”

Referring to these words, the media wrote: “In fact, Nikol Pashinyan’s team wants money from the rich and former authorities. Ararat Mirzoyan said everything very clearly and openly; give us the money we want and live in peace. Apparently, some oligarchs and officials who became rich during the previous government, for example Samvel Aleksanyan, have already paid the money demanded by the revolutionaries, which is why their business is growing and flourishing. ”
