He earns money through short-term part-time jobs and spends his days ‘talking to himself’
Lee (28, female), who has been preparing for a job in a public company for three years, got a short-term part-time job in a logistics center before the Lunar New Year holiday this year. Lee, who beat the competition 7 to 1, was assigned to warehouse work, moving boxes and displaying merchandise. Why did Mr. Lee a short-term part-time job? “You can’t go back to your hometown empty-handed before the Lunar New Year holiday,” Lee said, smiling bitterly.
On the day of his part-time job, Mr. Lee immediately to the logistics center after an hour of security training. I packed two hot packs in my pockets because I was afraid it would be cold in the warehouse, but my worries were nothing. Sweat was dripping non-stop and beading on the tip of my chin, and my face was turning red.

Before being appointed deputy minister in 2020-2021 Ispiryan was the expert of “iGorts” program. Within the framework of “iGorts”, Diaspora Armenian specialists are invited to work in the RA government and other departments at the state level.
According to News.am, Nikol Pashinyan himself was dissatisfied with the work of the deputy minister. In particular, in December 2023, when Pashinyan visited the Ministry of Economy to discuss the department’s activity report, Ani Ispiryan also made a report. The latter, however, could not answer the questions related to the spheres under his coordination, which upset Pashinyan. He noted that an “incompetent” person was appointed to such a responsible position and urged Minister Kerobyan to suggest that the deputy minister write an application for dismissal.
