Shameless Lie: I Received No Bonuses in March or April, E. Grigoryan

The former Minister of Environment, Erik Grigoryan, wrote on his Facebook page: "For two years, I have not responded to various malicious and commissioned articles targeting me in the media, as I was convinced that if you fight against the current status quo, you will find yourself against those who exploit forests, engage in illegal water use, various NGOs and initiatives fueled by officials, different mines and HPPs, as well as certain international programs that spend millions of dollars on useless reports, media outlets that write commissioned articles, and all those groups that had some benefit from the former situation.

Today, I see yet another commissioned article stating that I awarded myself a bonus before my resignation and pocketed the remaining funds. THIS IS A SHAMELESS LIE. I RECEIVED NO BONUS IN MARCH OR APRIL. Moreover, I transferred nearly the entire amount of my March salary to the account for the fight against coronavirus and provided the remaining part to various individuals in need."
