Citing her income declaration, RFE/RL’s Armenian Service revealed late last week that Shushan Aleksanian makes 3.6 million drams (about $10,000) per month as chief executive of the state-run company HayPost.
The revelation sparked an uproar from opposition figures and other critics of the Armenian government.
The Armenian Ministry of High-Technology Industry, which directly oversees HayPost, declined last week to give any details of the purported job contest mentioned by Konjorian.
The ministry also refused to explain Aleksanian’s salary, saying only that there is no “separate formula” for calculating it.
However, members of his entourage are increasingly accused by media of using their positions to enrich themselves, their families or cronies.
