The Ombudsman also enjoys the “Business” Class Tickets

Iravaban.net regularly refers to those officials who prefer travelling with high-class tickets without saving the money of the state budget. It turns out that the human rights defender is not an exception. Specifically, this year on August 12 the staff of HRD has signed a contract with “Sputnik” Company for purchasing tickets. About 105 thousand AMD was paid for a business class ticket (Yerevan-Tbilisi) and an economy class ticket (Tbilisi-Yerevan). In response to the inquiry of Iravaban.net, HRD staff members informed that the tickets were purchased for HRD Karen Andreasyan, who was on a visit in Georgia during that time and met with several people dealing with Human rights defense.

With regard to the purchase a business class ticket they answered, “Taking into account the fact that the invitation of business trip was received a few days before his trip, and based on the fact that according to preliminary data, all economy class tickets were already purchased, they bought only one way business class ticket’.
