Article 34 of the Law “On Public Service” defines the duty of declaring the property, income and interests of declarant officials, clause 4 of the article stipulates that the declarant officials shall submit declarations upon assumption and termination of their official duties, as well as annual declarations

On 30 May, 2021, we wrote that RA Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan assumed office on 26 November, 2020. The Minister had violated Article 36 of the Law “On Public Service”, which defines the declaration terms. As of the day he assumed office, he had submitted the declaration much later, on 24 July, 2021, but it was supposed to be submitted within 30 days following the day of assuming office.

Article 34 of the Law “On Public Service”stipulates that the Annual declarations shall be submitted for the period from 1 January of each year to 31 December (inclusive) of the same year.

Vahan Kerobyan did not submit the annual declaration for 2020.
