Yesterday PM Serzh Sargsyan answered to journalists’ questions during his visit to the paper production factory, “Hayrenik” and “AR” TV companies of “Grand Holding”. PM Serzh Sargsyan said the following concerning Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s suggestion to clean up the “Augean stables” and his willingness to resign in three years after being elected, “Probably he thinks that the term of three years is enough to give Karabakh. It was very strange to me; there were many strange ideas in that speech. I think that it is up to each of us to decide what to suggest, however it is impossible to manipulate people by rhetoric. If anyone is trying to prove the unprovable, if anyone wants to say that he/she lives worse today than ten years ago, then it is not my problem, but it is up to them. He is speaking to everyone and it is impossible to close everyone’s eyes”.

By the way, yesterday Serzh Sargsyan said concerning the inspection launched by the taxation services in a number of large companies that the TSS has not started that inspection recently and that it is their job and they have always done it. “I don’t receive statements informing which businessmen have been arrested or done violations every day, but I am sure that if you officially apply to the prosecutor’s office or taxation services with a request, they will inform you whether they have arrested anyone or no. I am sure that there will be”.
