ARKA, Armenia

YEREVAN, December 6. /ARKA/. Russia’s Trade Representative in Armenia Andrei Babko, commenting Armenia’s law enforcement agencies’ attention to the South Caucasus Railway CJSC and Gazprom-Armenia CJSC, urged everybody not to make such a fuss over these companies and to respect presumption of innocence, 168 Zham reported on Thursday. 

“There is a fuss, but there is no evidence,” he said. “I would like everything to take place in accordance with the law. If there is a crime, then conduct an investigation and apply to court. Only having a court decision it is possible to speak about guilt.”

Speaking about Gazprom-Armenia, he said that it is necessary to find how the natural gas price grows twice for consumers in Armenia. 

“We welcome anti-corruption measures, but everything should be done in accordance with the law,” Babko said. -0—

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
