    BARE FACTS

    (http://en.aravot.am/2013/07/02/155172/)
    13:52 | July 2 2013

    Politicians, commentators, analysts (of course, not only in Armenia)
    always tend to show that they know more than we, common mortals. They
    are looking for clan battles, intrigues, Baghramyan 26 and so on
    under every bush. All this, of course, is and always will be. If
    desired, even the hail in Armavir marz can be connected with the 2018
    presidential elections.

    But these are flights of political thoughts. And we are interested
    in the events, the so-called "documentary" side.

    The suspicious renowned businessman Ashot Soukiasyan and the Prime
    Minister of "full of corruption risks" Armenia Tigran Sargsyan insists
    that the first one despite the will of the second has registered the
    Prime Minister as an offshore company shareholder in Cyprus. From the
    beginning it seemed illogical to many of us, including me, but in these
    issues we need to move not from the logic, but with more knowledge
    and awareness. Who can make this issue clear, is it possible, or
    impossible? It must be a person who is familiar with the legislations
    of Cyprus. I assume that such a person is the Cyprus Attorney General
    Petros Clerides. The radio station "Liberty" referred just to him.

    Is it possible for someone to register a company in Cyprus offshore
    company without the person's permission? The journalist's question is
    simple and clear. The the Prosecutor General of Cyprus gave the same
    answer, no, it is not possible. Now it's not me but you. Suppose, we
    like the current prime minister very much, let's assume, we understand
    that 'rabiz' oligarchy has problems with him, whom you will believe,
    Tigran Sargsyan and Ashot Sukiasyan, or Petros Clerides. This is a
    common rationality, 10 pieces of Baghramyan 26, the White House and
    the Kremlin, all politicians of the world will not be able to convince
    any rational person that the prime minister and businessman say the
    truth, and the Cyprus prosecutor lies.

    Or, let's assume that Ishkhan Zakarian is the most corrupted official
    in Armenia and has 100 castles all over the world. Let's again
    move away from all kinds of intrigues, plots, inter-clan battles,
    etc. Let's put the "rollbacks" aside, they need yet to be proven. The
    two bio-toilets worth of AMD 123 million, is it true or false? As
    far as no one has denied this number of Mr.

    Zakarian, then it is true? If it is true, then let any reasonable
    person respond whether it was an effective expense of taxpayers'
    money, or not.

    The answers to these questions for us, ordinary citizens, concern
    more than the issue that the politicians deal with, whether a palace
    coup will take place. It seems a little unlikely to me. But, let's
    assume it happened, and what then?
