How Did Badassian Travel to Europe to Watch the Expensive Liverpool-Real Madrid Match?
The newspaper "Zhoghourn" reports that on May 28, the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee, Rustam Badassian, traveled to Europe to watch the costly Liverpool-Real Madrid football match. According to information received by "Zhoghourn," the price of tickets for the Liverpool-Real Madrid match reached up to 7000 euros during that period. Who funded the trip of the SRC chairman to Europe?
In order to clarify several questions, the newspaper "Zhoghourn" reached out to Rustam Badassian, requesting him to provide information regarding:
- What was the cost of the ticket you purchased to watch the football match?
- Who bought the ticket, and with whom did you go?
- How much money did you spend on this trip?
In response, we received a letter from the Secretary General of the SRC, which is presented below:
“During his vacation abroad, the Chairman of the SRC Rustam Badassian attended the match between the mentioned football teams. The ticket was purchased through the Football Federation of Armenia, which also extended the invitation to attend the match. The ticket cost 490 euros, which is confirmed by the official Champions League application (it is not possible to enter the stadium without the mentioned application). Rustam Badassian traveled with a family member. There was no separate accounting for travel and other expenses; all payments were made using bank cards.”
