tert.am. Mr. Kocharyan, we see what is happening around Mr. Tsarukyan's businesses:
Since your father's name was also mentioned during Nikol Pashinyan's campaign, do you think your businesses, your assets will face the same fate, or not, and what will you do in that case? The journalist asked this question to Levon Kocharyan, a member of the "Armenia" faction:
"The audacity, and I will allow myself to use this word, that is happening regarding Gagik Tsarukyan, we understand very well that it can happen to anyone, especially to us, but this struggle is not about property, this struggle is not about having something more. It is a deeper ideological struggle, and yes, we realize that all of this can happen; after all, we have seen many injustices," he noted.
Levon Kocharyan stated that since 2018, life has been in a different mode, many things are not voiced, are not discussed, but there is enormous pressure. According to him, being in opposition today, especially being an opposition MP, is neither a privilege nor a pleasure.
To the question of whether you have noticed actions by law enforcement agencies, perhaps tax or customs authorities, in the businesses belonging to you during the post-election process, which are more intensified or differ from the previous period, he responded.
"Just one week after the elections, all or almost all of the companies in which any member of our family has a stake, the tax authorities, armed, I don’t know which subdivision, with weapons, have entered everywhere.
Everywhere, even in my wife Sirusho's stores, there are four stores in Yerevan, her office, at the masters' places," he detailed.
To the question of whether violations have been detected, Levon Kocharyan said that no, they could not be detected, as there are none.
