YEREVAN. - Armenian State Revenue Committee neither confirmed nor denied the information on Chairman Gagik Khachatryan’s resignation.

“The information will be available in several hours. At the moment we cannot provide information,” the committee press service told Armenian News-NEWS.am, declining to comment on the rumors that Khacahtryan purchased a plant abroad.

As Haykakan Zhamanak reported earlier, Chairman of Armenian State Revenue Committee Gagik Khachatryan handed in resignation to Armenian President on Monday. Sources close to the presidential administration consider the resignation will be approved. Deputies to Chairman of Armenian State Revenue Committee Ruben Kocharyan and Armen Alaverdyan also confirmed the information.

Early in August the newspaper wrote Gagik Khachatryan went on vacation and he would resign after he returns. Spokesperson for Armenian President Armen Arzumanyan did not refute the information on Khacahtrayn’s resignation. Referring to the question whether President Sargsyan signed the decree on his resignation, Arzumanyan replied: “The president’s decrees are published in due course.”
