“A bit less than 1 million drams [approx. $2,410] was allocated from the state budget to buy brandy. With this amount, the Office of the President bought 39 bottles of 0.7-liter 20-year-old brandy.
“To note, the Presidential office purchases about 1 million drams worth of brandy each month, and if we convert this into liters, it would turn out that an average of 25-30 liters of brandy is consumed at the Presidential office each month, and no more, no less than 20-year-old [brandy],” Zhoghovurd writes.
