There was no other way of acting in Yerevan Fund. The actions of the National Security Service in Yerevan City Hall were appropriate. Minister of Science and Education Arayik Harutyunyan, together with Lena Nazaryan, appealed to the law enforcement officers before the Velvet Revolution and becoming a minister, as a member of Yerevan Council of Elders, demanding the Yerevan Fund the list of citizens' payments on suspicion of corruption risks in the Fund's activities. The first hearing will take place on June 28.
"I received a list of two years privatization of garages and asked the Yerevan Fund to provide 100,000 and more payment lists. Naturally, I did not get that list. If I got that I should have compared it with the list I had," the minister said. Arayik Harutyunyan does not exclude the possiboility to provide these documents to the National Security Service (NSS).
"Two days before the NSS actions, I had announced on my Facebook page that there was such a problem in the Yerevan Fund; I said that the fund was dissolving, and in case of its dissolvment there would be no responding side, so, the application could not be discussed." After the NSS actions, events in Ejmiatsin are in the centre of attention. The citizens are demanding Mayor Karen Grigoryan's resignation. Minister of Territorial Administration and Development Suren Papikyan touched upon the protests in Ejmiatsin and mentioned that public opinion should be respected.
