“Academician Terzyan appeared in the list of offshore account holders lives a very poor life.” Radik Martirosyan

“Event today when we look at Harutyun Terzyan life, he is living in very difficult conditions, he is an old man, his work is hard and so on. You are surprised that this man can have some things, some accounts documents, I can say the same about the others,” said NAS President Radik Martirosyan. Note that “Hetq” published the names of the citizens of Armenia who have appeared in the Panama documents. And particularly, Nairisoft Inc. Company (IT sector) has been registered in the British Virgin Islands. It is engaged in the software development. Harutyun Terzyan, professor of the State Engineering University of Armenia, also NAS academician, is in the list of shareholders. His partners are Snar Martirosyan, Vardan Kocharyan and Artashes Balyan.

To our observation that the representatives of scientific sector constantly complain that they are paid low wages, where the academics got that much money that are circulated in the offshores, Mr. Martirosyan said. “Anyway, in additions of the title to be an academician of the Academy, they do not receive any money, any other thing.” He skeptically approaches the published information, “Maybe, three or four people are still more, it is difficult for me to say what information it is, where it came from and so on. I do not believe that there are 37 citizens from Armenia in this account holders because there are even people among them who are well off but their names are not seen but Terzyan’s name is there who, I repeat, lives a very poor life.” To our question of whether oligarchs are standing behind Terzyan and other academicians, Mr. Martirosyan said, “I highly doubt it because the Academy members are developed people familiar with the realities and I do not believe that they can do it in the place of someone.”
