ArmInfo. The leader of the  Tsarukyan bloc, deputy businessman Gagik Tsarukyan says that neither  he nor his entourage ever opposed the will of the people, but on the  contrary always supported him in all aspirations. Tsarukyan stated  this in an interview with journalists, answering the question about  his possible involvement in the events of March 1, 2008, when 10  people were killed in a clash between law enforcement and  demonstrators.  "Anyone who spreads rumors about my involvement or  involvement in these events is an immoral person, Tsarukyan was  always with the people and supported him." If I participated in all  this, then let me be publicly shot, "Tsarukyan said.

Asked whether the businessman is concerned about being at the center  of the scandal amid recent revelations, the "heroes" of which are big  businessmen and well-known politicians, the deputy said: "For the  last 10 years the authorized structures have been doing what they are  trying to find in my enterprises but if they were not discovered  earlier, there is no reason to fear this even now. "To the  journalists' observation that Tsarukyan used to be" friends "with the  authorities, he was not" touched ", the businessman remarked:" If  this is so, then poch in 2015 639 Tsarukyan's associates were  arrested, and people in masks with machine guns checked my structures  for more than a year and a half. What kind of collusion can there be?   "Answering the question about possible consolidation in the ruling  bloc after the upcoming parliamentary elections, Tsarukyan noted that  time will tell. On the same question about whom he will cooperate  with before the upcoming elections - second president Robert  Kocharian or the prime minister Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the  businessman answered: "The time will come, we will decide. I do not  understand what are we talking about? Today we are cooperating with  the government in a "very warm atmosphere". If there are conflicts  between political forces, we quickly solve them, " Tsarukyan  stressed.
