What is the most shameful is that the government is filling the budget with such fines. This is what deputy of the Prosperous Armenia Party Gevorg Petrosyan told reporters in the yard of the Yerevan court of general jurisdiction today, touching upon the fact that he was fined for not wearing a face mask.

“Since the authorities finally became convinced that no other foreign investor is going to come and make investments in Armenia in order to raise police officers’ salaries due to their administration and policies, now they are going after people to fine them. Let them fine me so that I will want to go out every day without a mask and pay the fines to fill the budget,” the deputy said.

When asked why he doesn’t wear a face mask, Petrosyan said he has a health problem and will dispute the fine.

Asked if he is also loyal to Gagik Tsarukyan, Petrosyan said Gagik Tsarukyan is his big brother and doesn’t need to show his loyalty to him.

Journalists also asked Petrosyan if thinks it’s normal that his fellow deputies signed papers to show their loyalty to Gagik Tsarukyan, to which Petrosyan said he wasn’t familiar with those papers and that everyone has to be held responsible for their actions.
