Hovannisian: There will be new murders if Mr. Liska not jailed

“If Mister Liska (Aysor.am: the nickname of former Syunuk governor Suren Khachatrian) is not jailed, there will be new murders,” Heritage Party leader Raffi Hovannisian said at the meeting with their party’s supporters today. In his words, impunity engenders new crimes.

He spoke about the report of Control Chamber. “No one should be surprised at the Control Chamber’s updated reports and disclosures, of which we were aware log ago,” Hovannisian noted. According to him, the public punishment and imprisonment of a few officials will not solve the problem as “higher-ranking officials should bear responsibility”.

At the meeting, Raffi Hovannisian enumerated a number of pressing problems in Armenia such as issues of Karabakh war veterans, servicemen in the army, Armavir hailstorm-hit farmers, the Proshian village murder, Nairit Plants staff’s wage arrears, the problem of Yerevan’s Closed Market, and so on.
