This Thursday almost 20 opposition parties of Armenia will sign a
statement on the start of anti-criminal movement in the country.
The initiators of the project discussed today several drafts of the
statement and instructed a working group to finalize it by Sept 27.
One of the leaders of the Republic party, former interior minister
Suren Abrahamyan says: "We must demand that the government immediately
clear the country from criminal, otherwise we will raise a wide
national movement and will change them."
Commenting on the last tough words of Prime Minister Andranik
Margaryan that the initiators of the anti-criminal movement have no
proofs that crime and government have inter-penetrated, the leader
of the New Times party Aram Karapetyan says: "Today, they say that
the head of the investigation department of the State Customs Service
Shahen Hovassapyan might have been killed by Armen Virabyan, nicknamed
Schwarz. Isn't he the same Schwarz who went to Moscow several years
ago for organizing the attempt on the life of Serzh Jilavyan? How
come he is still in the state administration system and has even got
promotion. So, here you have specific example of inter-penetration
of crime and officialdom," says Karapetyan.
The leader of the Fatherland and Honor party Garnik Margaryan says:
"Territorial Administration Minister Hovik Abrahamyan owns over 10
plants and as many wine factories in Ararat region. I wonder how much
a person who was car washer and spare part seller in 1988 should earn
to buy so much," says Margaryan.
