David Sanasaryan: Armenia`s high-voltage networks will return 140 million drams to state budget

ArmInfo. The Head of the State  Control Service of Armenia David Sanasaryan admitted at today's press  conference that the ministry which he heads has nothing to do at the  Ministry of Defense, since the Ministry itself  initiates inspections  in the structure and sends the identified offenses to the authorised  bodies.

"We have nothing to do there at the moment, we discussed this issue  with the Prime Minister and decided to postpone the checks for a  while," the head of the State Control Service said. To note  earlier  Sanasaryan threatened to begin his work with inspections in the  Ministry of Defense and with the revelation of multi- million dollar  embezzlement.

At the same time, Sansaryan assured that after initiating inspections  by the Service in a number of SNCO and state stuctures, many of them  voluntarily agreed to return the spent funds to the state budget. In  particular, according to the results of inspections, Lusashen SNCO  will return 210 million drams to the budget, and Rodina-Diapora  SNCO  - 100 million drams.

He also said that inspections are being conducted at the National  Agrarian and Yerevan State Universities.  According to him,  particularly large abuses have already been revealed at the Agrarian  University. At the same time, Sanasaryan did not specify the amount  of theft.

Sanasaryan also reported on coordinated abuses in the Public  Television of Armenia and Ministry of Diaspora. Thus, during the  inspections it was established that the Ministry of Diaspora  allocated 75 million drams to the Public Television to make the film.  "However, later we found out that this film was shot by means of  Public Television. The investigation will  reveal where the funds  allocated by the Ministry of Diaspora are," said Sansaryan.

The most serious result of the activity of the Service headed by him,  Sanasaryan called the fact that as a result of the checks, Armenia's  High Voltage Electric Networks will return 140 million drams to the  state budget.

At the same time, he noted that the new government does not have the  goal of filling the prisons with corrupt officials, if the damage to  the state is compensated, then forgiving approach will be applied to  corrupt officials.
