Today’s incident at Bagratashen customs service was clarified by the State Revenue Committee Chairman Davit Ananyan. He answered journalists’ questions in the government.
David Ananyan denied rumors that the citizen was demanded $ 100 for washing machine.
He said: “The people say that the legislation is such that there is customs clearance, but no $ 100 has been mentioned, there is video recording. We declare that, in any case, it is prescribed by law that we carry out our ‘sacred’ duty and make a customs declaration. If a person decides that he should take a PR action, break his washing machine, what should we do? Should we prevent him from videotaping and sharing on the Internet?”
