Missing Headphones on the Day of Pashinyan's Appointment as Prime Minister: 15 Million Dram Property Shortage in Parliament

The newspaper "Hraparak" reports that the administration of the National Assembly has submitted a report to the Prosecutor General's Office regarding a property shortage of about 15 million drams. According to the inventory conducted in May this year, under the order of the head of the staff, it was revealed that 54 items were absent, including 22 computers, 2 external hard drives, headphones, and more.

A criminal case has been initiated in the Prosecutor's Office regarding this fact. According to certain information, the missing headphones were lost on the day of Nikol Pashinyan's appointment as Prime Minister last year. They were distributed to journalists and guests who had arrived from abroad, some of whom, seemingly forgetting, took property belonging to the National Assembly with them.

Our source in the National Assembly informed us that one of the headphones, for example, was taken by Serj Tankian, who was following Pashinyan's election from the parliament's press room. The missing computers are the laptops used by MPs in the session hall, which were replaced with domestically produced Armtabs during the new government's time. After the new National Assembly was formed, these were distributed to MPs who requested to have a computer in their office without a handover-acceptance process.

In response to our inquiry about the missing property, the former deputy head of the National Assembly staff, Arsen Babayan, said: "Who had the time? Whether there was a disappearance of property or not will be clarified by the investigation; let's wait and see."
