ANTI-CRIMINALS GIVE NAMES

Politics

Today, in answer to the announcement of the Prime Minister (“If they know everything, why don’t they give names?”), the representatives of the parties which are members of the anti-criminal movement made public the first names of criminal officials.

Leader of the party «New Times» Aram Karapetyan asked a question about recent events, namely about the murder of Shahen Hovasapyan and the person who has been arrested in connection with the case: Armen Virabyan, a.k.a. Schwarz. «Isn't Armen Virabyan the same Schwarz who left for Moscow several years ago in order to terrorize Serge Jilavyan? Didn't the preliminary investigation find out that he is the same person. I'm asking the RA Prime Minister and the Defense Minister: how did a person like this manage to remain in his post as such a high official? Isn't this an obvious case of the close interconnection of the authorities and the criminals?»

The next name made public by the anti-criminal movement was Hovik Abrahamyan's. Head of «Fatherland and honor» Garnik Margaryan enumerated the property of the Minister of Territorial Administration: «more than 50 establishments in Ararat region, more than 10 plants, more than five car factories, more than 10 wine factories. Alongside with this, Hovik Abrahamyan is stockholder of several privatized enterprises like «Ararat-Cement», and has privatized areas in Sevan and Hanqavan. How does a person who was a car washerman in 1988 buy all this? If he is fair, let them punish us; if he is not, let him answer for his deeds».

Member of the political council of the Republican party Souren Abrahamyan brought another example, «If the Prime Minister wants names, is there anything better than his own name? Let him open up the list of the members of government and have a good look at it».

Manouk Gasparyan announced that he can give a hundred names, but his does not want to risk his life, «I name only two people – Robert Kocharyan and Serge Sargsyan. If something happens to me, I want you to know that they have a finger in it».By the way, Manouk Gasparyan informed that in connection with the 15th anniversary of Independence four officers got the rank of General “and all the four of them are from Karabakh. What is this if not criminal activity?” Manouk Gasparyan said and added that there is serious discontent in the army in this respect.

It is noteworthy that representatives of the Orinats Yerkir party Hovhannes Margaryan suggested that the opposition proclaim their property so that there are no rumors about it. The offer was not much welcomed.
