    A scrutiny of the lists of 1000 big taxpayers of Armenia for the
    first quarter and the first half of 2006 leads to interesting
    conclusions. Especially considering that less than a year is left
    until the parliamentary election in 2007 and the businessmen members of
    parliament again want to have a mandate of immunity in their pockets.

    Natali Pharm owned by businessman MP Samvel Alexanyan paid 150
    million drams of taxes in the first quarter of 2006 and is the 51st.
    In the first half of the same year the company is the 48th with 410
    million drams - 150+260. Another company owned by the same member
    of parliament, sugar importing Fleetfood is the 33rd in the first
    quarter of 2006 with 245.5 million drams, and the 66th in the first
    half with 309 million - 245.5+63.5. It means that Fleetfood paid an
    average of 4 times less taxes a month, which is strange because in
    summer the consumption of sugar goes up in Armenia, whereas the price
    of sugar went up and the quality declined.

    Vedi Alco owned by Manvel Ghazaryan is the 60th in the first quarter.
    It paid 142 million drams. In the first half of the year Vedi Alco
    is the 93rd. It paid 226 million drams, 142+124. Or 1.1 times less
    a month.

    Member of Parliament Ashot Aghababyan's Hrazdan Holding is in the
    158th place with 57 million in the first quarter, and the 154th with
    138 million in the first half. By the way, Ashot Aghababyan's company
    suffered losses of 71 million drams in 2005.

    Leova Khachatryan's Concern Energy was the 419th and paid 20.2 million
    drams in the first quarter, and now it is 481st with 38 million -
    20.2+17.8, or an average of 1.4 times less a month.

    Tigran Arzakansyan's Great Valley paid 27.8 million drams in the first
    quarter of 2006 and is the 318th, and in the first half it paid 34
    million and is the 522nd, an average of 4.5 times less a month.
