Paylak Hayrapetyan about Vardan Oskanyan's connection with offshore scandal
January 9 2014
Businessman Paylak Hayrapetyan does not consider the new supposition
around the name of lawyer Nairi Merheje involved in offshore scandal
realistic. To recall that in his year-end press conference, the Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan, in response to Haynews.am question, said,
`The woman who registered an enterprise in Cyprus in my name, the very
woman registered an enterprise in Cyprus in the name of dead people.
And, this woman is the very woman who is standing on the base of the
offshore scandal. And I am also curious to know what explanation Mr.
Oskanyan will provide whether it is also unexpected news for him, or
his person is standing in the sources of this information, and this
scandalous story has a political context.' According to the
`Hraparak', Nairi Merheje is PAP MP Vardan Oskanyan's distant cousin.
`The Prime Minister has found new suppositions, let him prove them. I
consider the involvement of this woman in this story illogical and I
do not believe it's real. Because once Ashot Sukiasyan has sent a
letter to the prosecutor's office informing that he had registered the
company so that Kchoyan and the Prime Minister would become umbrellas
for his business. Now telling tales is senseless,' said Mr.
Hayrapetyan. He does not think the supposition of involving lawyer
Nairi Merheje in the scandalous story follows the goal to take Ashot
Sukiasyan's name out of the arena. Mr. Hayrapetyan said he has not
even tries to find out who the Prime Minister's identified woman is
and why her name has appeared in offshore scandal. `It's not my
business, let the Prime Minister reveals it, or the one whose honor is
touched upon. Let Ashot not write that I had opened it, let him write
that this woman has opened it. A flow of big amounts was made on this
organization. Without them: the Prime Minister, and Diocese Kchoyan,
this flow could not be made. It would be better if the Prime Minister
says who has cheated him, or say that it was a mistake.' The
connection between Nairi Merheje and PAP MP Vardan Oskanyan is obscure
for the businessman. To our question whether it is possible to involve
the MP into the scandal, he said, `I do not know him, I have never
seen him, I have no connection with him. I can not say anything.' As
for the Prime Minister's claims that he has nothing to do with the
registration of this enterprise, that at the time of the registration
of the enterprise he was in Cyprus, Mr. Hayrapetyan said, `He could
have given a letter of recommendation, although Cyprus prosecutor
clearly stated that it is impossible to register an enterprise without
the presence of the specialist or the said person. Now, what new fairy
tales are they telling?' He considers the case disclosed. `The Prime
Minister has telephoned the bank; the bank has developed a business
plan without the document and made a mistake. In the papers, it is
said that there is 10,000 tons of gold on the 800 km, and a 9 million
600,000 karat diamond at the depth of 10 meters. Where is this
document? Let the bank clarify based on what document it was written.
They must return my property and apologize, and those who have given
money let them demand their money from Ashot. I am going to apply to
all international instances, let them come and speak to me and clarify
as soon as possible.'
