Edmon Marukyan Holds Meetings with Authorities in Newly Built Center

According to information from Factsinfo, Edmon Marukyan, the leader of the ‘Bright Armenia’ parliamentary faction, has been engaged in discussions with the leadership of the ruling political force for a considerable period of time. The meetings have been regular since August 2018, taking place in an apartment in one of the newly constructed buildings in Yerevan's center, with the convenience of parking in an underground garage and using a separate elevator to reach the apartment.

One of the deputy speakers of the National Assembly has also participated in the meetings, assuring that he acted with the knowledge of his party leader. During the discussions, there has been a certain exchange of information regarding funding sources, including those from Russian or Russian-Armenian angles, as well as the means of acquiring funding from major domestic oligarchs.

The topics of discussion included elections, political arrangements, and the financial capabilities of Gagik Tsarukyan, the leader of the ‘Prosperous Armenia’ party. We do not rule out that the parties involved may issue denials; however, we have concrete factual data indicating, for example, the specific address where the meetings have taken place and the ownership of the apartment in question.
