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.
