Samvel Aleksanyan, the businessman/MP who was re-elected to the Armenian parliament on May 6, told Hetq that he will be rewarding the best staffers in his campaign headquarters with awards of $20,000 and holidays in Dubai.

“Once we get the visa paperwork processed, the best 4 workers will be on a plane to Dubai. But I haven’t forgotten everyone else. We’ll be having a big party at the Paravon restaurant to celebrate,” Aleksanyan said.

The ruling Republican Party candidate beat Nikol Pashinyan from the Armenian National Congress in Yerevan’s Election District 7.
