Among those who received bonuses are all four of Marutyan's deputies, each of whom was allocated 480,000 dram from the city budget. The chief architect of Yerevan, Artur Meschyan, and the secretary of the staff, Vahe Khachatryan, also received the same amount. An assistant to the mayor, Karen Harutyunyan, was granted a bonus of 200,000 dram. Bonuses of 280,000 dram were awarded to 13 heads of departments.
