RA DEPUTY PROSECUTOR GENERAL: WE IMMEDIATELY
RESPOND TO VIOLATIONS OF PRIVATIZATION LAWS
YEREVAN, AUGUST 4, NOYAN TAPAN. Based on a report submitted by the
National Assembly Control Chamber, the RA Prosecutor General’s
Office registered a number of mistakes made by the government
during the implementation of the 2001-2003 program on state property
privatization. However, as the Deputy Prosecutor General of the RA
Gevorg Danielian stated at the August 4 press conference, there are
no sufficient grounds for opening criminal cases on the basis of the
facts the report contains. He said that the NA Control Chamber’s report
on implementation of the 2001-2003 privatization program was sent on
May 16 of this year by the NA Speaker to the RA Prosecutor General’s
Office. According to G. Danielian, after studying this report, the
Prosecutor General’s Office found some inaccuracies in the information
of the Control Chamber. In his words, the NA lawyers "sometimes
present exaggerated figures, but as a result of working with experts
of the prosecutor’s office, they often change their opinion." Asked
if he sees any intent in the activity of the NA Control Chamber,
G. Danielian replied: "Even if there is a political implication,
it has no bearing to us." According to him, the prosecutor’s office
is interested only in the legal aspect of the matter. "In general,
we immediately respond to violations of the laws on privatization,"
he assured.
