In answer to one of journalists question: “Are you morally ready to yield your post of minister? » , Minister of Environment Vardan Aivazyan said: «I\’m not sure yet whether I leave it or not». And in answer to the next question: «Does your dismissal have only political purposes or..? », he said: «Yes, what else can be? » Indeed, is what else can b e? Though our newspaper ahs published the articles of the Investigating Journalists Association motivated by the its president Edik Baghdasaryan’s documents about privatization of gold mines by his relatives. These kinds of publications must dismiss Vardan Ayvazyan from his post if not causig governmental crisis . We should also remind that president of World Bank Pole Vulfovits sent in his resignation when it was found out that he had raised his colleague- mistress Shaha Rza’s salary groundlessly. The directors\’ council of the bank has held a n office investigation and concluded that Vulfovits\’ action wasn\’t ethical. While our government hasn\’t replied to these obvious facts of corruption. Serge Sargsyan was declaring during the rally: «Struggle against corruption also means to punish. If we periodically hear about arrest of any state official… everything will be fine then. » But the Environmental Minister shouldn\’t been punished, he was providing for the votes of Georgian-Armenians for the RPA. And now Vardan Ayvazyan, who is the 15th in the RPA list, has won a seat and may leave the post of minister and get personal immunity. And the possibility of his arrest becomes nonsense. So, it is much possible that Vardan Ayvazyan will become a parliamentarian saving him from responsibility.
