    Is Money of Armenian Officials in Europe and US Endangered?


    Rumors came that the Armenian government-business circles are worried
    about their money and property abroad, namely the United States and
    Europe. Hovik Abrahamyan's statement `let's first resolve our issues
    to move on to Karabakh' was interpreted from this point of view. There
    is nothing to be surprised because all the Armenian elite care for is
    their money.

    The point is that the decision to join the Customs Union was followed
    by the dominant opinion in the west that some sanctions should be
    applied against Armenia. In this context, considering the nature of
    the Armenian `elite', a check of their bank accounts and other assets
    for their origin and other grounds is considered, which might
    subsequently be frozen. It will not be difficult to do this
    considering that the money and assets are mostly illegal.

    Equally the Armenian ruling elite is thinking on how to `save' their
    money. In particular, they are considering some legislative amendments
    which might allow qualifying that money as `western investments' and
    legitimize them. The problem is that the Armenian
    businessman-officials declare only the money that is `legal' and is
    kept in Armenian banks. Money hidden abroad is said to amount to
    billions of dollars.

    Apparently, big scandals and revelations should be expected soon.
