Yesterday President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan convened
a consultation regarding preliminary investigation of criminal cases in
the Attorney General's Office with the participation of representatives
of law-enforcement bodies. Talking about concrete problems, the
President of the Republic of Armenia, stated, "However, I must say
that the problem of some attorneys' negligence or malignity, which,
unfortunately, is not assessed accordingly, is still topical. Let
me remind that during a consultation that took place last December,
discussing the quality of preliminary investigation and the efficiency
of an attorney's supervision, this very thing was stressed and it
was proposed to take effective measures of struggle against it.
Although some steps have been taken in this direction - even the
guilty have been held accountable - the negative phenomena have
not been reduced. And the conclusion is that individuals just don't
learn a lesson from all this. They didn't learn a lesson, because I
don't see an active struggle against it inside the Attorney General's
Office." www.aravot.am inquired of some politicians whether S.
Sargsyan's meeting with representatives of law-enforcement bodies
was another step in the pre-election period or a clear intention to
eliminate shortcomings and drawbacks in the mentioned fields could be
noticed. Garnik Margaryan, the leader of the Motherland and Dignity
Party, noted during a conversation with us, "When the President tried
to rebuke the Prime
Minister during one of the meetings of the Cabinet and it was followed
by prosecution of former ministers and functionaries and the Oskanian
case, I say this is a political show. They will try to boost that
prosecution now. It is another show and I have no expectation." In
response to our question whether there were predictions that some
people would be arrested, Mr. Margaryan said the following, "They
won't be, since it is a corrupted team, all of them support it. When
there are punishments, dismissing and holding accountable individual
ministers, even charging, if necessary, perhaps, I will say that
Serzh Sargsyan has changed his attitude."
Gurgen Yeghiazaryan, a member of the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party
(SDHP), stated, "Vova Gasparyan is in the camp opposite to mine. I am
sorry, but I can't say anything bad about him. Let him pay attention
to Alik who he has made himself an adviser and who doesn't give a
damn about the legislation of the Republic of Armenia and has named
a street in the village of Kanachut after himself. We have such an
example. Thank God, Vova Gasparyan hasn't renamed Leo Street after
himself. Serzh Sargsyan cannot understand this. We have interesting
traffic police. I can say that has 90 percent changed. Our crime rates
are rising and according to the data I have, they are falling, thank
God. As opposed to the oligarchs who increase the prices of bread,
butter and the other food commodities every day. What can I say under
such circumstances? I am under the impression that the meeting is a
populist step. He just decided to give it a shot. I would suggest that
he call to order his impudent oligarchs, in order that the population
gets food commodities normally.
"Regarding the Attorney General, I can say that it was a good thing to
say. They should have said goodbye to Aghvan long ago. Unfortunately,
he has realized quite late that he should say goodbye to him and no
one should keep his office in that system. If he intends to change
something, I will be for it, but he has no intention, he just bluffs
again."

P.S. After the conversation, G. Yeghiazaryan called us and added
that Azat of Goght who had heard our conversation was "all for"
the remarks he had made.
