According to Zhoghovurd daily, MP Samvel Alexanyan distributed money during a party at Parvana restaurant.

“The parliamentarian said that the money in the envelopes was meant for employees of Malatiya-Sebastiya electoral district to thank them for good job during parliamentary poll,” those present at the party said.

The daily said it failed to get in touch with Alexanyan for further comments, with the latter’s phone switched off. “The MP was probably busy arranging Last Bell school graduation ceremony in his district,” the paper said.
