The General Prosecutor’s Office considered valid only 4 out of
16 charges made by the Control Chamber of the National Assembly
against the government of Armenia and Yerevan municipality on the
program of privatization in 2003-2006. Gevork Danielyan, deputy
chief prosecutor, told reporters today that the fact that 12 other
charges were not considered valid speaks about the failure of the
lawyers at the Control Chamber of the National Assembly, saying that
charges may have been made either deliberately or because of lack of
professionalism. Danielyan said he was concerned only about the legal
aspects of the case and did not want to see any political meaning in
the case.

Danielyan assures that General Prosecutor’s office very often receives
reports with exaggerated figures, which do not prove themselves in
the course of investigation.

Note: The Control Chamber of the National Assembly forwarded two
packages of reports to the General Prosecutor’s Office regarding the
program of privatization in 2003-2006. /Panorama.am/
