I Received a Smaller Bonus Than Other Ministers: Badasyan

Armenia's Minister of Justice Rustam Badasyan responded to reporters' questions regarding his participation in the upcoming referendum on constitutional changes. He stated, 'I don’t know yet, perhaps when I decide, I will take a leave and participate in the campaign.'

Regarding reports about bonuses, specifically that he received a $16,000 bonus, the minister clarified that he receives bonuses in accordance with a unified policy set for all ministers, and that his bonus is even slightly less than that amount. 'As for how much it is in yuan, we can calculate it in dollars, euros, or yuan; interesting headlines arise, but the content does not change,' he said.

According to Badasyan, his declaration has been filled out and there will soon be an opportunity to see it.
