MP Taguhi Tovmasyan responds to criticism over property ownership

Opposition MP Taguhi Tovmasyan on Tuesday dismissed criticism from ruling Civil Contract faction MP Hayk Konjoryan regarding her property holdings, stating she legally owns three apartments in Yerevan – one used as the editorial office of Zhoghovurd daily founded by her, another purchased before marriage and a third jointly with her husband.

Tovmasyan revealed plans to buy a fourth house soon using income tax benefits: "Let Nikol Pashinyan and his team know – I'll buy a fifth one too if necessary,” the MP added.

Responding to questions about how she could afford them as a journalist, she said all properties were bought through mortgage loans, adding, "If Konjoryan had been a good journalist, he could’ve had one too."
