"Gagik Tsarukyan has already announced that he is not going to
participate in the auction of "Bjni" mineral water Company," says Gagik
Tsarukyan’s press secretary Khachik Galstyan in a press conference.

Regarding the attack on the officer of Binding Implementation of
Judicial Acts, who was working on "Bjni" case, the press secretary
refused to give any comments. To the question whether Gagik Tsarukyan
could imagine such development of the situation when he recommended not
to take part in the auction, Mr. Galstyan answered that G. Tsarukyan
could not foresee such development.

Prosperous Armenia Party and Gagik Tsarukyan have definite position
in this period of world financial crisis, said Tsarukyan’s spokesman
reminding that their party has voted against the tax reforms. According
to him, they think that in this period those who earn their own
living themselves, who have their small business should not suffer
from tax system.

"Small and medium size business should be supported by the
Government. We thought that the legislation increased the tax burden
on people and voted against it to express our position," he said.

To the question what Tsarukyan’s position is on establishing ATM-s
in the fairs, Galustyan answered: "In this period of financial crisis
those people should be let free."
