ARMENIAN PRIEST REFUTES REPORTS ON OFFSHORE BUSINESS
17:46 ~U 13.06.13
Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan, Vicar at the Ararat diocese of the
Armenian Apostolic Church, refutes the press reports on his diamond
business.
A press release by the Ararat diocese addressed the "offshore scandal."
Archbishop Kchoyan said that he would never continue as minister of
the Armenian Apostolic Church if he had any business. It runs counter
to his principles, the press release says.
As regards the reasons for his not applying to law-enforcement
agencies, Archbishop Kchoyan said that it runs counter to his
conception of an Armenian clergyman.
He also refutes the rumors about his presence at a meeting of the
state committee on the development of the diamond-cutting industry.
Archbishop Kchoyan condemns any speculations on his contacts with
Ashot Sukiasyan.
Although he appreciates values of democratic society, he believes
that abuse of freedom of speech poses threats to champions of this
very freedom.
At the Armenian Parliament's meeting on Wednesday, Armenian Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan refuted reports on his involvement in the
"offshore scandal."
