    ARMENIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS BLAMES TARON MARGARYAN FOR SWINDLE AND MONEY LAUNDERING

    Monday, April 29, 18:13

    Armenian National Congress blames Yerevan mayor Taron Margaryan for
    swindle and money laundering, deputy chairman of ANC party, the head
    of the ANC parliamentary faction, Levon Zurabyan, said at today's
    press-conference.

    "Today we sent a letter to Armenia's Prosecutor General's office
    with a request to file a lawsuit against Margaryan under the article
    - swindle. We ask law-enforcement agencies of Armenia to hold the
    relevant investigation and to bring Yerevan mayor to responsibility",
    - he said.

    He also added that specific facts were submitted, based on income
    declarations presented by Margaryan in 2005, 2007 and 2013. In
    particular, according to the declaration, in 2005 being the head of
    Avan community of Yerevan, Margaryan earned about 7 million 400 thsd
    drams, but in 2007 he earned 54 mln drams, $50 thsd and bought jewelry
    for 80 mln drams, though his salary was 130 thsd drams (about $310).

    Moreover, in 2013 Margaryan declared his property at $6 mln, though
    actually his property exceeds $10 mln. In 2013 Margaryan earned
    115 mln drams, $50 thsd and 50thsd EUR, several motor-cars, dozens
    of houses in Yerevan, etc, Zurabyan said. "So, thanks to simple
    mathematics and taking into consideration the fact that Margaryan
    had no extra revenues, one can say that the given funds were got by
    means of swindle", - Zurabyan said.

    Zurabyan also pointed at numerous evidences of the fact that government
    procurement for provision of urban amenities were bought by several
    times more expensive than their market price. This means stealing
    of the Yerevan budget, Zurabyan said and added that ANC is under no
    illusion regarding Prosecutor General's office, but has applied to
    the office to show that the accusations against RPA members are not
    groundless. "Now nobody can say that we do not have evidence.

    They were submitted to the Prosecutor General's office. And now it
    should present heavy rejoinder or take relevant measures regarding
    the criminal", - he said.

    To note, "Barev Yerevan" bloc, initiated by the leader of the Heritage
    party Raffi Hovannisian, has also applied to the Prosecutor General's
    office with a similar lawsuit.

    During today's meeting of Taron Margaryan in Avan district of Yerevan
    journalists asked him to comment on the above mentioned lawsuit,
    and he recommended them to apply to his press-secretary Shushan
    Sardaryan with all the questions. However, all the attempts of Arminfo
    correspondent to get commentary on the issue from Sardaryan failed,
    as she did not answer calls.
