PM says info on ‘offshore scandal’ will be available for media

The entire information about the so-called offshore scandal will be available for the media, Armenian Prime Minister said.

As Tigran Sargsyan told a government meeting Thursday, June 27, the topic gave birth to various political speculations and ‘fairy tails’.

According to earlier media reports, PM Sargsyan, primate of the Ararat Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan and entrepreneur Ashot Sukiasyan are the owners of WLISPERA HOLDINGS LIMITED offshore company, which got over $10 million through one of Armenian commercial banks.

The Prime Minister filed a request to the Office of Prosecutor General to investigate the publications, which, according to him, ‘are not true to fact.’

Besides, he didn't support the idea suggested by the opposition members of parliament, who offered to form a commission to investigate the rumors.
