17:21 ~U 17.06.13
At the Monday discussions of the Control Chamber's 2012 report
in Armenia's Parliament, Nikol Pashinyan, an MP from the Armenian
National Congress (ANC) party, said to Armenian Vice-Premier Armen
Gevorgyan that, if he rejects the report he has to reject President
Serzh Sargsyan, which was highly critical of the government's 4-month
activities in terms of "kickbacks."
Recalling the Armenian president's order to "grab by the heads,"
Pashinyan pointed to Vice-Premier, who according to some media reports,
owns 1/3 of the Toyota Armenia company.
"We are speaking of kickbacks. According to numerous press reports,
you own a third of the Toyota Armenia company. The government is
making purchases from this company, which brings profit to you. In
a legal way, you are getting the kickback we are discussing now,"
Pashinyan said.
In response, Vice-Premier Gevorgyan said that he has no share in the
Toyota Armenia company.
"It was your newspaper's reporter that put this question and I gave
a negative answer," he said.
With respect to President Serzh Sargsyan's order, Armenia's Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan gave comprehensive answers, Gevorgyan added.
