person of value for the state: he/she cannot be a victim," businessman

the first President of the Republic of Armenia, according to which
businessmen are the victims of the operating regime. Hakob Hakobian
does not consider himself or his friends to be victims at all.

Referring to the checkings being conducted in the enterprises of
Khachatur Sukiasian, another businessman MP of the National Assembly,
Hakob Hakobian expressed conviction that Khachatur Sukiasian has never
deviated from the constitutional norms. "If those checking are being
conducted because of his political opinions, I am against it. If those
checkings are artificially being made political, I am against it,
too," Hakob Hakobian declared.
