Pashinyan: It turns out  ARF  survives solely on state budget funds

ArmInfo. Throughout 2024, the ARF party received 1.936 million AMD as a  charitable gesture, and that was in the form of food, as stated by Vahagn  Aleksanyan, a member of the ruling Civil Contract faction, during a  government hour in the National Assembly on October 1.

According to him, this figure was taken from the party's declaration.  "It turns out they don't pay membership fees and don't receive  salaries. It's obvious to everyone that they have covert financing,"  the MP noted.

In response, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan emphasized the  importance of the presented data, pointing out the need for  clarification. According to him, no one in the country is discussing  this issue. Often, no one knows the names of the donors. "Does this  mean that the ARF essentially lives solely on state budget funds? We  need to understand this situation and have mechanisms in place to  verify donors, or more precisely, who they represent," the RA Prime  Minister noted.
