Will the National Security Service focus on Nairit Company or will
the government address this case which could involve people who occupy
quite high-ranking positions in Armenia?
The press reported that the case files on misuse by Nairit Rubber
Company have been handed to the police department for organized crime.
The department has not launched proceedings yet, apparently there is
no order yet. However, the factory staff who have not received their
salaries for eight months will not be satisfied with the disbursement
of several thousands of drams. They want to know who has crushed
the huge company, who incurred debts and why the factory is not
working yet.
These questions could interest other people as well. A few years ago
the coordinator of the Ramkavar Party Harutyun Arakelyan explained in
detail what was happening on this factory and blamed Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan. By the way, Sargsyan~Rs brother is in the management
of Nairit and when Tigran Sargsyan was the president of the Central
Bank, Nairit borrowed money from a CIS bank which later closed.
At that time, Tigran Sargsyan did not sue Arakelyan for slander. He
only said that the law enforcement bodies of Armenia could check the
information. Apparently, the law enforcement bodies finally inquire
about Nairit, quite reluctantly, though. Is it a sign that Tigran
Sargsyan is having trouble?
The NSS is investigating a case against the Civilitas while the
~Svictims~T say they have no claims to Vartan Oskanian. In addition,
the Armenian law enforcement bodies state they will not implement
the decision of the New York court fining Vartan Aivazyan, member of
parliament, at 35 million dollars.
In this context, it looks very artificial that the law enforcement
bodies lack interest in a deal resulting in the loss of a major
industrial asset, leaving hundreds of people jobless and the loan
history of the country marred.
Armenia is used to bringing cases against officials and proceeds with
investigation only whenever there is a need to influence them. The task
of the law enforcement bodies is not to reveal and punish criminals
but to collect compromising materials. And when a case is raked over,
everyone understands that either the given official will be made to
do something or will be sacrificed.
