If necessary, I will bear the accountability provided by law within the framework of the criminal case initiated on the organization of accommodation and food for the citizens isolated as a result of the coronavirus. The Minister of Economy of Armenia, Vahan Kerobyan, told this to a press briefing Thursday.
He asked to wait for the results of the work of the relevant agencies.
"The contracts were signed before I became a minister. After some time, this function was transferred to the Ministry of Health," the minister added.
Kerobyan assured that the guilty will be punished.
According to law enforcement agencies, officials from the Ministry of Economy caused more than 20 million drams (approximately US$50,000) in damage to the state as part of measures to provide accommodation and food to the people who were isolated in Armenia due to the coronavirus. A criminal case has been launched in this regard.
