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.
