In response to yesterday's Hetq article "Offshore Labyrinth: Armenian
Style", the Ararat Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church issued
a statement saying that the information contained within has no
connection with reality and is merely "a logical continuation of
series of slanderous remarks previously raised."
Official documents obtained by Hetq have revealed the name of
Archbishop Navasard Kjoyan (Primate of the Ararat Diocese) as a
shareholder in an offshore company, Wilspera Holdings Ltd., allegedly
involved in some shady financial transactions.
The diocesan statement also calls on the public at large "not to be
taken in by the dissemination of such disinformation."
Yesterday, Hetq had written that Kjoyan, RA Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan and Ashot Sukiasyan had a 2010 meeting with businessmen
Ruben Lazarian, Sergey Tryukazyuk and Alexander Kalchikovski and
that they all later dined at the Noyan Tapan restaurant in Yerevan.
In his interview with Hetq, Lazarian says that he later accompanied
Ashot Sukiasyan and Archbishop Kjoyan to Zvartnots Airport where
they caught a flight to Cyprus. (Wlispera Holdings Ltd. is registered
in Cyprus)
While Archbishop Kjoyan claims this information to be false just three
days ago, answering questions posed by ArmenPress, he confessed to
having close relations with Ashot Sukiasyan.
Kjoyan told ArmenPress that he has travelled frequently with Sukiasyan
and that "by a stroke of fate" he visited Nicosia, Cyprus, at the
invitation of Tigran Badalyan, one of his friends.
Here's more of what Kjoyan told ArmenPress:
"Back then, in March 2011, who would have thought that a year before,
as it recently turns out, Ashot Sukiasyan used my name to register
his company? I knew that he had a company registered in Cyprus with
his partner Sergey. I know that this Sergey is a Belorussian. I had
no other information as to Ashot's Cyprus company..."
Readers will note that the Belorussian "Sergey" mentioned by Kjoyan
is actually businessman Sergey Tryukazyuk.
