Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan told journalists before the 15th
congress of RPA that a businessman-deputy from the Republican Party of
Armenia, Samvel Alekdanyan, promised him from now on to work in the
tax field,
He also added that during the meeting with Armenian businessmen,
Aleksanyan said that he is ready to work without a hitch and join the
tax field only in case if all the businessmen do the same. "I don't
care what was before that, I am interested in what will be in future,
that is to say, all the businessmen should work in the tax field", -
the premier said.
Deputy of the National Assembly Nikol Pashinyan said in the parliament
on 16 May that according to the official data, in Q1 2014, Armenia,
i.e. the Akhuryan Sugar Plant owned by Samvel Alexanyan, MP from the
ruling Republican Party of Armenia, produced 0 kg of sugar. Instead,
30 thsd of raw sugar was imported to Armenia. "This means that the
businessman-parliamentarian Alexanyan and his plant have made a deal
with the Government and import sugar to Armenia under the guise of raw
sugar, because a 10% customs duty is imposed on sugar and 0% on raw
sugar. What has happened? It has turned out that with a subtle motion
of the hand the Government and the oligarchs close to the Government
have earned 2.9 mln USD at the expense of the state budget. No one
minds Samvel Alexanyan, Serzh Sargsyan and Hovik Abrahamyan's being so
subtle to earn millions in this manner. The problem is that they are
doing it at the expense of the citizens. We are against such criminal
practices against the citizens", said Pashinyan. Pashinyan believes
that if the Government strives to combat shadow economy, it must not
create shadow economy itself.
