Sometimes various rumors, discussions, and even public movements generate not only from the political or economic interests, but also due to being unaware of the realities. It is clear, for example, that Ruben Hayrapetyan, as an oligarch, a former Deputy and a member of the Republican Party should become a regular target of diverse criticisms. However, to link his name with possible transfer of the Ukrainian “Shakhtior” football-player to any other team, simply means not to be familiar with the rules of professional football. Under what conditions “Pyunik” have sold (transfer) Henrikh Mkhitaryan to “Metallurg” and the latter to “Shakhtior”, all of these, naturally, is a commercial secret.
But it is quite obvious that the “Pyunik” and “Metallurg” owners have absolutely no leverage to block the transfer of football-player not belonging to them. The managers of football clubs and agents of given football-players are engaged in transfer of the professional football-players. Of course, when the terms are determined and known, the player, itself, can agree or disagree. Writing an open letter regarding the transfer to the President of Armenia or the Prime Minister of the Great Britain, is just a display of ignorance.
The same for the search of offshore scandal ‘clients’. As our officials believe that what is written about them, can not be spontaneous, they are looking for “clients” everywhere. In particular, it is said that the scandal has become public by the President’s so-called patronage. This information is not only absurd, but first of all, offensive for our partners of the “Hetq”.
And here it’s worth to get a little bit acquainted with the realities. The businessman Pailak Hayrapetyan has been long complaining about Tigran Sargsyan, Navasard Archbishop Kchoyan and businessman Ashot Sukiasyan. Moreover, these complaints for at least one year were published in the media. But none of us had the time or desire to look deep into these complaints, except for the “Hetq”, that’s why this media belongs to the Association of Investigative Journalists. More are such media, the better for the society. They went after the information provided by Pailak Hayrapetyan, and due to this information, the offshore registered company was revealed.

What the document revealed by the “Hetq” proofs, the question should answered by the law enforcement. Recently, one of the opposition said, “a document proved that the prime minister is a thief, a robber.” To tell the truth, I am in favor of a higher level of legal awareness, I wish the word “proven” is applied by the judicial instances. As long as there is no such judgment, everyone, including the high-rank officials and the most pacific oppositions enjoy the presumption of innocence. But the fact that the law enforcement do not begin proceedings is, certainly, strange. I think that the Prime Minister and the Archbishop need to be zealous in this issue.
