However, it&#39;s noteworthy that Vardan Harutyunyan, having always worked in one of the most socially disadvantaged provinces and receiving a monthly salary of only 560 thousand drams (about $1200), has managed to accumulate such a sum.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&ldquo;The judge&#39;s wife&#39;s assets are all the more remarkable: Armik Harutyunyan has officially declared AMD 15 million (about $31,000), $30 thousand, and EUR 10 thousand in financial assets. And since [Mrs Harutyunyan] has not provided any wage information, it&#39;s safe to assume that she &#39;works&#39; as a housewife. In the case of the judge&#39;s wife, &#39;working&#39; as a housewife is more profitable than any other job,&rdquo; Zhoghovurd writes.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of course, it&#8217;s clear that the judge has not declared his entire property.
