    NEWSPAPER: THE RULING ELITE IN ARMENIA SERIOUSLY DISPLEASED WITH ISHKHAN ZAKARYAN, HEAD OF SUPERVISORY CHAMBER

    Tuesday, June 25, 12:22

    The ruling elite in Armenia is seriously displeased with Ishkhan
    Zakaryan, Head of Supervisory Chamber, over the Chamber's recent
    exposures in the activity of some government structures and fact of
    embezzlement of the budget funds, a local newspaper Hraparak writes.

    Rumors about Zakaryan's possible dismissal are based on statements of
    some high-ranking officials who slam Zakaryan for excess of power. The
    paper writes that Zakaryan has discrepancies also with his staff that
    allegedly impedes inspections and leads to information leakage.

    Hraparak writes that Zakaryan's only hope is President Serzh Sargsyan,
    who does not mind leaving Zakaryan on his position so far.

    Earlier, on June 20, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said in the
    government that the statement by Ishkhan Zakaryan, head of the
    Supervisory Chamber of Armenia, saying that 70% of the state budget
    expenditures are risky, does not correspond to reality.

    "70% of the state budget is 700 bln drams. If what the Supervisory
    Chamber says is true, there is large- scale corruption in all
    the regions, which does not correspond to reality. The Supervisory
    Chamber is a specialized structure and has no right to make political
    statements. It is authorized to prepared resolutions on some issues,
    nothing else," the premier said. He said that any public allegations
    against departments and ministers must be responded.

    "I charge you to respond to allegations. You must either refute the
    information or assume responsibility for the violations," the prime
    minister told the Cabinet.
