YEREVAN, OCTOBER 28, NOYAN TAPAN. The management of "Bjni" mineral waters plant owned by the family of Khachatur Sukiasian, a National Assembly deputy who is wanted by police in connection with the March 1 events in Yerevan, made a decision to "stop the production due to the impossibility of further activity". According to information of the RA Justice Ministry's Service on Compulsory Execution of Court Acts, on October 17 the service received an act of execution from the RA State Revenue Committee with the demand to confiscate, under a decision of the RA Administrative Court, 4 billion 67 million 201 thousand 600 drams (over 13 million dollars) from "Bjni" Mineral Waters Plant CJSC and transfer this sum to the state budget. On October 21 employees of the service went to "Bjni" plant, made an inventory and seized the real estate. According to the same source, this action "proceeded from the law and aimed to prevent the possible alienation of the property". NT was informed by Anna Mkrtchian, spokeswoman for SIL Concern owned by the Sukiasians, that they will "use all legal means to struggle against the decision and process". To recap, on October 21, 2007, NA deputy Khachatur Sukiasian announced his support for the first Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosian. A month later the State Tax Service started checks at "Bjni" plant, as a result a report was drawn up, according to which the water meter for measuring the volumes of mineral water used by the plant for its production had not been properly installed. According to press reports, the water meter was sealed by an inspector of the RA Ministry of Nature Protection, and no violations with respect to the water meter were revealed during the checks in 2005-2006. However, after this year's check, a report on violations has been drawn up.
