    Armenian ex-premier's statement `barefaced lie' - Arshak Sadoyan

    10:42 - 29.09.13


    Chairman of the National Democratic Union (NBU) Arshak Sadoyan regards
    as `a barefaced lie' the Armenian ex-premier Hrant Bagratyan's
    statement that there was no `black oil' criminal case.

    `I applied to the prosecutor's office in connection with the `black
    oil' case. They initiated criminal proceedings and even thanked me
    officially. And the prosecutor's office got the $3.5m damages
    compensated for,' Sadoyan told Tert.am.

    As to who was held responsible for causing the $3.5m damage to the
    state budget, Sadoyan said: `Many people were charged. I stated then
    that we charged small fry while we were speaking of the `sharks.' I
    said that 205,000 tons of black oil had never entered Armenia, but had
    been devoured by officials together with Russia. Even [the then
    premier of Armenia] Vazgen Sargsyan said to me `You know seven songs,
    and all the seven are about black oil'.' At that time, Vazgen Sargsyan
    advised him to apply to the prosecutor's office.

    The Prosecutor General's Office in Armenia did not provide any
    official information to Tert.am. However, Tert.am found a record on a
    `black oil' commission that worked in Armenia's Parliament during
    1992-1999. Commission Chairman David Lokyan addressed the import of
    black oil and reported some problems in getting the documents from
    Armenia's Ministry of Finance, Armcontract Company, Central Bank of
    Armenia and Hayastan Fund.
