Panorama.am has issued today a video, where Prosperous Armenia party
MP Michael Melkumyan dismisses claims about having big property but
the phone conversation presented in the same video proves the opporite.
In particular, asked by a reporter what state property he managed to
acquire while dealing with state property alienation issues, the MP
says 'nothing', while in a recording of this telephone conversation
with a third person (presented in the video as well) asked whether
he is a broker, the MP says, "No, my friend, I am a big owner,"
and asks in which of his territories the person is interested in.
It becomes clear from the video that high-storeyed buildings on Koryun,
Nairi Zaryan, Komitas streets belong to him. In the phone conversation
Melkumyan invites the person for a meeting to discuss the details of
the deal, saying he has "a lot of territories."
Asked by a reporter whether he has a property in former state
buildings, Melkumyan gives a negative answer.
In 2000-2003 Melkumyan was Armenia's state property administration
deputy minister, in 2003-2004 he worked as deputy head of
government-affiliated state property management department. In
2009-2012 he has become head of Economics University's Micro-Economy
and Entrepreneurial Activity chair. In parliamentary elections in May,
he was elected an MP by the Prosperous Armenia party's proportional
list.
Tert.am phoned Melkumyan to get comments on the materials, but after
hearing the question Melkumyan turned off the phone and did not answer
the calls any more.
Speaking to Tert.am, PAP spokesperson Tigran Urikhanyan said, "What
can I comment on individuals? Secondly, does anybody have right to
establish a control over a person's, including MP's, private property?
And thirdly, what does it mean the successive hunt of person's private
life, property and all the fundamental freedoms stemming from them."
Before commenting, though, Urikhanyan said he is not aware of the
video.
Michael Melkumyan, who was in the NA today, avoided the meeting with
reporters and managed to flee from the parliament building.
