The RA Prosecutor General Anna Vardapetyan and Defense Minister Suren Papikyan have submitted the gifts they received in April to the Corruption Prevention Commission.

Prosecutor General Anna Vardapetyan received a commemorative statuette depicting a Red Army soldier symbolizing the Soviet army’s victory in the Great Patriotic War from the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation on April 7.

Vardapetyan estimated the value of the received gift at 60 thousand drams. It is noted that the gift was sent via postal service.

Defense Minister Suren Papikyan received a “GNOMON” brand silver, gold-plated wristwatch (925 grade, 25-26 grams, with a genuine leather strap, in a red box) from Edik Hakobyan, the acting chairman of the Anti-Corruption Committee.

The gift was presented on January 21 for ensuring close and effective cooperation with the anti-corruption committee, as well as on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the formation of the RA Armed Forces.

The value of the gift was estimated at 170 thousand drams.

Let us remind you that as a result of amendments to the “Law on Public Service,” new rules regarding the acceptance of gifts have been established. According to these regulations, gifts given during state, official visits, events, as well as during work visits and business trips are handed over to the state or community if their value exceeds 60,000 AMD.
