HAVE THEY PAWNED TEGHUT MINES?
[05:19 pm] 06 June, 2008

-The programme makes no sense to me. Even the change
of wording will not affect its contents,- ex Prime
Minister Hrant Bagratian said about RoA Prime Minister
Tigran Sarkissian’s programme.

During today’s press conference at the -Hayeli- Club
Hrant Bagratian noted that Armenia lacks a market
economy. Monopolies should be broken up and ordinary
citizens should be given freedom to import goods.

Hrant Bagratian says ex PM Serzh Sarkissian’s
programme was better than that presented by Tigran
Sarkissian and Andranik Margarian’s programme was the
best. Besides, no reference is made to the social
polarization in the country in the government
programme.

Bagratian thinks that presently Armenia’s banking
system stands behind.

The ex prime minister also referred to the formation
of a public council. -Only after releasing the
political prisoners they can think of other ways out.-

As of Teghut’s exploitation, he said, -A tender should
have been announced and money should have been loaned
from foreign banks. Who knows maybe they have pawned
the mines to raise the loan.-
