Khachatur Sukiasyan And Hrant Vardanyan Share Their Contemplations
Today the Mirror Club hosted businessmen Hrant Vardanyan and Khachatur
Sukiasyan, who debated on the upcoming parliamentary elections.
"I don’t care who the governor is. The representatives of two great
business families, who rank among the top five in the RA tax field,
are sitting here. Please, do not compare Hrant Vardanyan or Khachatur
Sukiasyan with Gagik Tsarukyan. We are the pillars of the country,"
Hrant Vardanyan, president of "Grand Candy" announced.
Mr. Vardanyan didn’t want to debate with Mr. Sukiasyan as, in his
words, he have similar views on many issues.
Hrant Vardanyan assures that he isn’t engaged in any pro-governmental
party although he doesn’t conceal his affection towards them. "The
main merit of a businessman should be his dignified attitude towards
the state budget," the two businessmen claim.
"The problem mainly arouses between corrupted businessman who are
in close ties with the acting officialdom and make fortune through
illegal methods; they try to get a deputy mandate with those sums to
protect their property," Hrant Vardanyan says.
Khachatur Sukiasyan claims that the results of his recent
survey revealed that political figures possess more capital than
businessmen. Besides, there are people who made fortune without any
minor business.
In Hrant Vardanyan’s opinion the state pays little attention to the
sphere of economy. "In case the economy weakens we shall be deprived
of culture, sports, etc."
The guests of the club disagreed only in view of the Armenian-Turkish
frontier opening. Mr. expressed his approval, whereas Mr. Vardanyan
was against the frontier opening. "The opening of the frontier will
be of no importance lest the Genocide conflict between Turkey and
Armenia is settled," he states.
