Two Things Are Infinite: The Universe and Human Stupidity – Torosyan

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I’m still not entirely sure about the universe. This was written by Armenian National Assembly member Arsen Torosyan on his Facebook page.

“As every year, I have submitted my annual declaration on time, which becomes a public document. I have done the same for the past seven years, declaring everything: real estate, vehicles, income, expenses, in short, in accordance with the letter of the law.

Yesterday, a news outlet discovered my declaration, seemingly as if I had filled it out secretly and ‘exposed’ that there is an increase in the real estate line. However, probably due to a lack of proper education in school, that outlet and those spreading this ‘sensation’ could not read and understand that I did not purchase a new apartment. It is simply that my own house, which I have been building over the last few years, has received a cadastral state registration, again in accordance with the letter of the law. The amount mentioned is the total cost spent on construction, which completely fits within the scope of our reported legal income.

By the way, at the beginning of this year, another so-called news outlet made a similar ‘discovery’ regarding that house, to which I responded by saying, ‘wait for my declaration.’ In summary, I would say that Einstein was right,” he wrote.
