Ashot Sukiasyan has told that he had gone to America Bank with Tigran
Sargsyan for sending an offshore money
June 21 2014
Businessman Paylak Hayrapetyan considers the fact of extradition of
one of the key figures of offshore scandal, Ashot Sukiasyan,
yesterday, from Georgia to Armenia, a big progress in offshore
affairs. We inquired from the businessman whether he does not have
fear Ashot Sukiasyan will become a scapegoat in the offshore business,
and the involvement of other culprits will remains unconfirmed by law
enforcements, given the fact that Ashot Sukiasyan was also constantly
denying Kchoyan's and former prime minister's involvement, and was
taking on the responsibility. "If Sukiasyan wants and get lost without
them: Tigran Sargsyan and Navasard Kchoyan, let him get lost, it's up
to him. If he want to get lost, let him keep insisting that the former
prime minister and Kchoyan are associated with this case. And if the
prime minister had not gone to the bank, which banker would issue 12
million dollars for Africa. In addition, Ashot Sukiasyan has also
called me and said that he is going to the bank with the Prime
Minister, the Prime Minister has said that the bank will prepare a
business plan within 5 days and the 12 million dollars by 12 percent
will be released and 6000 dollars will be left to the bank for
preparing the business plan," told Mr. Hayrapetyan, in the
conversation with Aravot.am. He excluded the possibility of former
prime minister's coming out of the offshore scandal "dry", recalling
the Cyprus Attorney General Petros Clerides's assurance that it is
impossible to register someone as an offshore company shareholder
without the permission of given person. "The prosecutor also argued
that if not their signatures, these enterprises cannot be obtained,
then millions were transferred to these accounts, and then come back
to Armenia, it is excluded." Mr. Hayrapetyan believes that Ashot
Sukiasyan's extradition to Armenia suggests comprehensive and
objective investigation of the case. "The case is already revealed, it
should not be disclosed now. Who has allowed sending the money to
offshore, the Central Bank, the Security Committee, Ministry of
Finance, the Ameria bank Board...? Everything is clear who did what.
Simply confrontations are needed. All guilty should be judged that the
people and abroad have confidence in making investments here." He also
said that allegations by the former Prime Minister and the Archbishop
Kchoyan that they have nothing to do with the offshore, is incredible.
"If their signatures were fabricated, let the prosecution have
published that they are fabricated, and they should have said who has
done it."
