YEREVAN, December 6. /ARKA/. Russia’s Trade Representative in Armenia Andrei Babko, commenting Armenia’s law enforcement agencies’ attention to the South Caucasus Railway CJSC and Gazprom-Armenia CJSC, urged everybody not to make such a fuss over these companies and to respect presumption of innocence, 168 Zham reported on Thursday. 

“There is a fuss, but there is no evidence,” he said. “I would like everything to take place in accordance with the law. If there is a crime, then conduct an investigation and apply to court. Only having a court decision it is possible to speak about guilt.”

Speaking about Gazprom-Armenia, he said that it is necessary to find how the natural gas price grows twice for consumers in Armenia. 

“We welcome anti-corruption measures, but everything should be done in accordance with the law,” Babko said. -0—
