Gnel Sanosyan`s press office: Attributing  mansion to minister and  looking for manifestations of corruption are futile attempts

ArmInfo.  Attributing the mansion to the minister and looking for manifestations of corruption are  futile attempts. This is stated in a statement by the press service of Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of the Republic of Armenia Gnel Sanosyan, issued after an investigative  article by Hetq that the minister's mother is building a mansion  worth $230 thousand.

"If it was a matter of concealing the fact of the construction of the  mansion or alleged corruption risks, then it is unlikely that it was  registered under the name Sanosyan," the press service noted.

The minister previously explained that the mansion was being built  with funds from his father and brothers, who have been working in  Russia for many years. "My brothers continue to engage in business  activities there. As a result of many years of savings and current  income, the specified land plot was acquired, on which a private  house is being built," he noted. Let us remind you that today the the  Hetq Media Factory published an article according to which Gnel  Sanosyan's 67-year-old mother, Olga Sanosyan, acquired a land plot  with an area of 1 thousand square meters in the administrative  district of Avan (Arinj village), where the construction of a  2-storey mansion with an area of 377 sq.m. is nearing completion. The  total cost is estimated at $230 thousand.
