“The manifestation of such phenomena, if it meets the reality, when high-rank officials enter into such transactions, the country is discredited, not to speak about high-rank priests”,- so answered Kiro Manoyan, responsible person for the Armenian trial and political office of ARF Bureau to the question of Aravot.am whether he believes that it is possible to open an offshore bank account in the name of the RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan without his awareness. Continuing the theme, he said. “Until now, there are many reasons to believe, but respective authorities should prove the facts.” We inquired as to which are the bases, K. Manoyan replied,- «Cyprus prosecutor says that he considers it unlikely that someone’s name is given, as an owner, without the latter’s knowledge.” We tried to clarify whether K. Manoyan believes in Cyprus Attorney General. He answered,- “We have no reasons not to believe, even though his words are not final.” In response to the observation that the Prime Minister of Armenia had said that he was not aware of, Mr. Manoyan responded accordingly,- “He might not be aware of, he might have mistakenly given his passport for something else.”
