“Publication” the newspaper writes. “The ambitions of the Abrahamyans not to put a “zadni” in the Artashat elections, to make their candidate the mayor by any means, were prevented by the presidency. Argam Abrahamyan was invited Serzh Sargsyan about, after which there is no more silence regarding the elections in Artashat. Despite the claim that Argam left the president very impressed, according to some sources, he said in a tight environment: “In those days, I was supposed to become a deputy instead of my father on the RPA list.” However, he did not come to the parliament at the last session. Moreover, he does not answer his friends’ phone calls. According to our RPA sources, “perhaps they are still calculating why Abrahamyan the elder was called to the president, but the younger one.” And why? In order to emphasize once again that Abrahamyan-Avag has nothing to do in the political field? “You should ask the accountants about that,” said our interlocutor.
“time” the newspaper writes. “Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan Yesterday, he reluctantly participated in the 6th International Eurasian Partnership Conference organized by Ara Abrahamyan, the President of the Union of Armenians of Russia. Those who know Karen Karapetyan know that she does not take herself very seriously Do it to Abrahamyan: It turns out, however, that the Prime Minister is in a tense relationship with the former Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission, participating in that conference. Tigran Sargsyanwith Karen Karapetyan has learned that Tigran Sargsyan, who has a very warm relationship with the highest government circles of the Russian Federation, is lobbying against his plans in favor of Serzh Sargsyan, thus Surenich expresses his gratitude to Serzh Sargsyan for his current position, and also hopes that Serzh Sargsyan will not leave him unemployed in the future.
“time” the newspaper writes. Head of the “Hayastan” All-Armenian Fund Ara Vardanyan announced that during the upcoming telethon, a businessman living in Russia Samvel Karapetyan promised a big surprise, without detailing what kind of surprise or how much money. It is no secret for anyone that Samvel Karapetyan is the main donor of Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan’s programs and the financier of his prime ministership. Samvel Karapetyan’s surprise next month is also within the framework of Karen Karapetyan’s prime ministerial ambitions. Let’s remind that S. Karapetyan also made a promise of 250 million dollars in 2008, responding to Serzh Sargsyan’s call and on the occasion of his 100 days in office.”
“time” the newspaper writes. “According to “Zhamanak”, the situation in YSU is becoming increasingly tense. Salaries of professors were reduced by 60 percent, which caused discontent among employees. Dozens of professors are going to be fired. They still haven’t received the salary for the month of September, whereas previously they received the salary for the previous month on the first day of the next month at the latest. It should be noted that despite YSU Rector Aram Simonyan’s repeated assurances that the significant reduction in the number of students will not affect the salary fund, the salaries of YSU professors have not only been reduced, but will continue to decrease.”
“Morning” the newspaper writes. “The government is considering banning the operation of right-hand drive cars. In a conversation with “Aravot”, a deputy of the “Yelk” faction Gevorg Gorgisyan said that he does not believe the statistics provided by the authorities, that most accidents happen with right-hand drive cars, therefore, thinking about people’s safety, they ban them. “I see another corruption deal here, someone from the RPA has put mud to change the steering wheel of the cars from right to left. They want to do someone a favor. What happened with the yellow numbers of taxis? They decided that fire extinguishers should be installed in all cars, people went and bought them, they brought that one batch, it ended, they said, it won’t happen, it will happen. I see a similar deal in this case. Maybe the minister or one of his relatives has such a business, wants to develop his personal business. Because I don’t see any serious justification.”
“People” the newspaper writes. “Still in 2013 former human rights defender in December Karen Andreasyan published a special report on the manifestations of corruption in the judicial system, presenting also the “price list” of bribes. According to that, in the courts of the first instance, a verdict is issued for 500-10,000 US dollars, in the appeal courts – for 2,000-15,000 US dollars, and in the highest instance – in the court of cassation – for 10,000-50,000 US dollars.
By an amazing coincidence, in the criminal cases of judges arrested on charges of taking bribes in the last year, it is these amounts that are “emphasized”. Judge Ishkhan Barseghyan of the court of general jurisdiction of Shengavit administrative district, according to the official accusation, took a bribe of 1000 US dollars. Judge Levon Arazyan of the Court of Common Jurisdiction of Ararat and Vayots Dzor Marz – 600 USD, President of the Court of Common Jurisdiction of Gegharkunik Marz Aghvan Petrosyan and Judge Vanik Vardanyan of the same court – 2 thousand dollars. And the surprising thing is that 4 years ago, the rates of bribes circulating in the court system presented by the former defense attorney have not changed: despite the inflation recorded in the country”.
