Businessman Ashot Sukiasyan says he registered an offshore company
in the name of Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and Leader of
Ararat Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Archbishop Navasard
Kchoyan without their consent. Sukiasyan confessed in his letter
addressed to the Prosecutor General. The person involved in the case
over offshore scandal provided a copy of the letter to Hetq.am,
a website that disseminated the reports on the offshore company
belonging to the prime minister. Sukiasyan says he founded "WLISPERA
HOLDINGS LIMITED" registering the shares in the name of Sargsyan and
Kchoyan without their consent.
"I did it to insure my business against encroachments. I did not
realize that it will have such consequences," Sukiasyan says.
The Armenian Police put Sukiasyan on the wanted list on June 17. Head
of the Public Relations and Information Office of the Police Ashot
Aharonyan told ArmInfo that a criminal case was initiated on the
basis of businessman Paylak Hayrapetyan's application yet a year
ago. A decision was adopted overnight to bring Sukiasyan responsible
for fraud, damage to property, and money laundering.
To recall Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan appealed to
the Prosecutor General's Office for verification of the damaging
information against him published by Hetq.am. The prime minister is
discontented at the recent publication on hetq.am saying that WLISPERA
HOLDINGS LIMITED, an offshore company registered in Cyprus has three
equal shareholders - RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, Primate of the
Ararat Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Archbishop Navasard
Kjoyan and Ashot Sukiasyan. WLISPERA (WHL) is directly connected to a
case businessman Paylak Hayrapetyan's bankruptcy. The source published
also a copy of the document allegedly confirming the given information.
