    in other ministries

    Spokesperson for the Prosperous Armenia party Naira Zohrabyan advises
    Armenia's PM to search for violations in health care and urban
    development spheres in other places.

    `I would advise the PM to search for `kickbacks' in other ministries.
    I am sure he knows it quite well,' PAP member told Tert.am.

    A week ago Armenia's president conducted a consultation at the
    government were he strictly criticized the `kickbacks' in healthcare
    and urban development sectors, the situation in medicine market, terms
    of conduction of tenders. After the consultation the PM instructed to
    send materials to law enforcement bodies.

    Former ministers of the urban development and healthcare were members
    of the PAP Harutyun Kushkyan and Vardan Vardanyan. Naira Zohrabyan
    though has not excluded that the remarks of the president related to
    the former PAP ministers.

    `I am convinced that they do not have any relation to the violations.
    As far as know, the case of the National Library has been sent to
    relevant bodies and I am sure we will get clear answers to the raised
    questions,' she said.

    At the same time Zohrabyan added that groundless accusations addressed
    to ex-urban development minister Vardan Vardanyan do not bring honor
    to anyone be it the head of the government or any other official.

    She said she is not aware whether the part of the works amounting to
    700 million drams has been implemented or not but expressed conviction
    that the former minister has no relation to it.

    As to the healthcare sphere, the PAP member said no one can doubt the
    professionalism of Harutyun Kushkyan.

    `I can say for sure that no one in the cabinet can be compared with
    ex-minister Harutyun Kushkyan who implemented reforms in the
    healthcare sphere,' she said.

    Asked whether behind this the party views possibility of pressures on
    the PAP by the authorities, Zohrabyan said she would not like to give
    final assessment to it, nevertheless some circumstances give ground to
    think so.
