Actually, the press service of Armenian Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan has failed to give any reasonable explanations about the
statement of Prosecutor General of Cyprus Petros Clerides who said
that registration of a person as a shareholder in the offshore zone
was impossible without his consent.
To note, Petros Clerides made such statement in an interview with
RFE/RL when commenting on the offshore scandal around the names of
Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and Head of the Ararat Diocese
of the Armenian Apostolic Church Navasard Kchoyan. Tigran Sargsyan
and Navasard Kchoyan refuted the media reports on registration of an
offshore company 'WLISPERA HOLDINGS LIMITED' under their names. They
assured that Kchoyan's godchild Ashot Sukisyan registered the company
without their consent.
When asked by ArmInfo's correspondent to clarify the current situation
and comment on the statement of the Prosecutor General of Cyprus,
Armenian Prime Minister's Spokesperson Haroutyun Berberyan, actually,
reiterated the statement made earlier: "The most concerned person in
exposure of the offshore scandal details is Tigran Sargsyan himself.
He himself applied to the Prosecutor's Office to find out who had
registered the company under his name. Tigran Sargsyan has repeatedly
claimed that he did not register any company in Cyprus or in any
other offshore zone and empowered nobody to do that on his behalf",
said Berberyan. He failed to explain how the company was registered
under Sargsyan's name and ran counter to the legislation of Cyprus.
All the attempts of ArmInfo to get some explanations from Head of the
Ararat Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Navasard Kchoyan were
in vain.
