YEREVAN. – Monaco has recently become the most-loved elite vacation spot for Armenia’s officials. According to Zhoghovurd daily, National Assembly (NA) Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, his in-law, namely, Prosperous Armenia Party Chairman Gagik Tsarukyan, and National Security Council Secretary Arthur Baghdasaryan were all in Monaco this summer.
