No political conflict between Armenia's premier, Control Chamber - opposition MP
11:41 - 23.06.13
Aram Manukyan, Secretary of the Armenian National Congress (ANC)
parliamentary group, does not think the recriminatory statements by
Armenia's Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and the Control Chamber of
Armenia are a political debate between the wings of the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia (RPA).
Rather, it is a wrangle over property. `We are going to see how they
are wrangling over the property. The RPA has been ruling for 14 years,
and I have not seen any political debate between the RPA wings.
All the arguments are only over influence, land and property. This is
one more wrangle over property,' Manukyan told Tert.am.
Asked about the clashes of interests are at such a high level,
Manukyan said: `It is because of the sides' huge appetite. Just
imagine their shares, and they are now arguing about their shares. The
amount `in circulation' is equal to double the state budget of
Armenia. Shadow economy constitutes 60%, and Armenia's foreign debt is
44% of the country's GDP. Can you imagine the figures? This means that
half of Armenia's country is in debt, and 50% of the country's
property is in the hands of 30 families.'
At the cabinet meeting on June 20, Armenia's premier addressed the
Control Chamber's report, which caused heated debate in Armenia's
parliament.
In an earlier interview with Tert.am, Vice-Chairman of the Heritage
party Armen Martirosyan said that the conflicting statements made
recently by the Control Chamber and the prime minister result very
probably from internal disagreements. He ruled out any essential
controversies.
