Yerevan, January 10 /Mediamax/. Armenian President Robert Kocharian
reminded today the Heads of the Tax and Customs bodies that they
"should not have anything to do" with the upcoming parliamentary
elections of 2007.

As Mediamax was told in the presidential press service today, speaking
at the working meeting, where the main tasks of the State Tax Service
and the State Customs Committee of Armenia for the year of 2007 were
being considered, Robert Kocharian stated:

"Your main task is to secure the income part of the budget. During
this period you should work even better, as we will be more exacting
towards you".

According to the President, the pre-election processes should not
influence the quality of work of Tax and Customs Services.
