Lawmaker doesn’t know what business is (video)
Businessman-lawmaker Samvel Aleksanyan has heard for the first time that businesses are taken away from people in Armenia. Then the businessman learnt that just yesterday newly appointed PM Karen Karapetyan said that, “Yes, Karen Karapetyan told the truth.” Republican Karen Avagyan doesn’t know why Premier talked about culture of snatching a business in Armenia, “I have recently returned to the country and I think there is some misunderstanding connected with snatching a business.” Head of Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) faction Vahram Baghdasaryan thinks that when touching upon snatching a business, Karen Karapetyan didn’t mean snatching the business, “He simply wanted to say so that everybody remains calm, that the businesses cannot be at risk.” Republican Hamlet Harutyunyan supposes that the new PM didn’t formulate what he wanted to say in a right way, “I don’t think that until now businesses have been taken away.” But if the PM said so, it means he knows what he says; the lawmaker personally even doesn’t know, what the business is, “Business is far from me by about 4 billion kilometers.” But the lawmaker agrees that Armenia is in wild capitalism with shortcomings peculiar to it, “Snatch, deceive, but fortunately I am very far from those processes.” No one has tried to snatch a business from owner of beer factory Hakob Hakobyan. So, the businessman-lawmaker doesn’t know what Karen Karapetyan meant, when he was speaking about snatching businesses, “Is there anything like that in our country?” Hakob Hakobyan is aware of closing businesses. He knows that Armenia is in very difficult economic situation. But why has the person, who worked for four years in Russia and was appointed head of the executive body, made such an irresponsible statement on snatching businesses, “It is more obvious from outside than inside.”
