Corruption is spreading throughout Armenia, Aram Sargsyan, a member
of the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC), stated at the
ANC rally in Yerevan on October 15. According to him, one of the
presidential candidates had nothing at all except for a private house
and a car in 2003. However, when he left in 2008 he was "wealthier
that the whole of Armenia."
"There is not a more glaring example of corruption. Are the incumbent
authorities able - or do they want at all - to struggle against
corruption?" Aram Sargsyan asked. He is sure that early elections
are the only way out of the situation.
The ANC member addressed the latest developments in the
Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. "In his latest speech President Serzh
Sargsyan said that the sooner Nagorno-Karabakh becomes a negotiator
the sooner the problem is resolved. But where was Serzh Sargsyan when
Robert Kocharyan actually ousted Nagorno-Karabakh from the negotiation
process?" asked Aram Sargsyan.
In his turn, Levon Zurabyan, ANC office Coordinator, commented on
the arrest of an Armenian criminal group in the United States.
"The crime boss Armen Kazaryan nicknamed Pzo has close contacts with
President Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan," the ANC member said.
During the 2008 presidential elections "Pzo" came to Armenia and
coordinated criminal actions against Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Zurabyan
claims. "The global scandals will have a serious impact on further
processes in Armenia. The international community confirmed that the
ANC is struggling against a mafia structure which is actually helping
international mafia," the ANC member said.
Zurabyan also stated that the Armenian authorities are concerned
over arrests in the U.S., as well as over a list of criminals among
Armenian Government members, which was recently released in Russia.
"According to the information at our disposal, Serzh Sargsyan called
Vladimir Putin in this connection. Revealing the criminal essence of
the regime for the international community is serious progress for
our struggle," Zurabyan said.
