The RA Government will approve of the deal with "Vympelcom" from
Russia about the sale of the 90% of the shares of "ArmenTel", Defense
Minister Serge Sargsyan announced today in the NA.

Mr. Sargsyan said that the growth of the Russian capital in the
strategic points of Armenia is not dangerous as Russia has never
abused its ways of economic control.

Asked the question if there has been quarrel and shots in the Armenian
plane which crashed in the Black Sea, Serge Sargsyan answered that
the hypothesis has already been refuted. "Both Russian and French
specialists have participated in the investigation. Do you think if
they would hide it if they found evidence of anything of the kind? Any
gossip must be at least a bit logical", he said.

President of "Orinats Yerkir" Arthur Baghdasaryan had announced
that the next President of Armenia must be born in Armenia by all
means. How does Serge Sargsyan comment on it? "Of course, the President
of Armenia must not be from Mexico".

As for the accusations of leader of the New Times party Aram Karapetyan
that the party is blackmailed due to the orders of Serge Sargsyan,
the Minister answered, "People are of too great an opinion about
themselves. Do you think I have nothing else to do?

It’s not only him; everyone and her brother blame me for
something. Anyway, let them speak as much as they want".
