    GALUST SAHAKYAN IS READY TO EXCHANGE HIS HOUSE

    The Armenian National Assembly today adopted the government's tax
    package which suggests introducing new taxes in the country.

    "The new taxes will not cover the vulnerable stratum of society,"
    Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) Galust Sahakyan
    told A1+.

    During the previous four-day NA sitting he blamed his colleagues
    for unawareness.

    "As unawareness hovers throughout the parliament we did not neglect
    Heritage or ARF-Dashnaktsutyun and removed six taxes leaving only two.

    But the taxes are obligatory otherwise we shall lose the institute
    of self-government bodies," said Mr. Sahakyan.

    "It is upon the community administration to decide whether to levy
    the tax or not. The taxes will be levied as soon as a law is passed
    on them.

    The new taxes will mainly cover farmers having more than five hectare
    lands. There are people who have a land of hundred hectares but they
    do not cultivate it as they have some other business. Only 35-40
    percent of the country's land is cultivated today. As soon as the
    new taxes are introduced they will have to pay for the extra soil
    or sell it. In this way we shall boost the business of real estate
    market. The hotel tax will not cover vulnerable people either as no
    peasant, worker or teacher has a hotel in Armenia."

    A1+ wondered if the new taxes cover great businesses why the
    Republican, Prosperous Armenia and Orinats Yerkir parties, the
    so-called Armenian business elite, voted for the law while the
    opposition which is thought to support the interests of ordinary
    people voted against the package.

    "I advise you visiting the homes of opposition MPs," said Galust
    Sahaknyan and added: "I am ready to exchange my house with that of
    any oppositionist."
