YEREVAN, JANUARY 23, NOYAN TAPAN. "As far back as in December Gagik
Tsarukian stated that he will not take part in the auction of Bjni
Mineral Waters Factory CJSC," Khachik Galstian, the Spokesperson of
the Bargavach Hayastan (Prosperous Armenia) party Chairman, reminded
at the January 23 press conference answering journalists’ question
of how the BH leader treats the latest events regarding factory’s
owner Khachatur Sukiasian’s business.
According to K. Galstian, G. Tsarukian never intended to seize
someone’s property. "He considers that in his partner K. Sukiasian’s
business some workers just displayed unconscientiousness in their
duties. Meanwhile BH considers that the ownership right should be
protected," he mentioned.
K. Galstian also presented G. Tsarukian’s opinion about government’s
decision to place cash registers in fairs and markets. Thus, under
the financial-economic crisis the state should not increase small and
medium-sized businessmen’s tax burden leaving that step to easier
times. K. Galstian also said that no cadre reductions will take
place at enterprises belonging to G. Tsarukian, though the production
volumes have reduced considerably.
BH leader’s Spokesperson gave a negative answer to the question of
whether there are political prisoners in Armenia and found it difficult
to answer the question of whether there are people persecuted for
their political views.
