Armenian Chief Prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepyan finally came up with a
speech at the National Assembly detailing his work in the course of his
career. In his words, the state of crime in the republic is stable,
severe crimes have not reported growth. Deputies had the chance to
address questions to the chief prosecutor after his 20-minute speech.
Heghine Bisharyan, secretary of Orinats Yerkir (OYeK) block was
interested what measures the prosecutor’s office took in relation to
"Royal Armenia" company.
She was particularly interested if the customs required bribe from
the company, or not. Aghvan Hovsepyan said the case is in courts and
they will issue the ruling. "There are prosecutors and judges that
must issue the ruling," Hovsepyan said also saying he is not going
to speak about the case from the stage of the parliament.
The question-answer with Aghvan Hovsepyan, candidate for chief
prosecutor, will continue with the deputies at the parliament early
tomorrow, after which, the National Assembly will elect the chief
prosecutor of the country in a secret ballot. The president of the
republic proposed Aghvan Hovsepyan, present day chief prosecutor,
for the post.
