YEREVAN. – US Ambassador to Armenia, John Heffern, on Thursday attended the official signing of the letter of intent between the Armenian Ministry of Justice and the USAID-funded Enterprise Development and Market Competitiveness (EDMC) Project, Aravot daily reports.   

“Since the ‘offshore’ corruption scandal linked to Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan is the subject of a heated debate in recent times, Aravot asked Mr. Ambassador his view on this scandal.   

“Heffern listened to the question until the end, but he preferred to refrain from answering and [making] comments, [and] he left with a slight smile,” Aravot writes.  

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, Hetq.am News Agency had written that PM Tigran Sargsyan, Archbishop Navasard Kjoyan—the Vicar General of the Araratian Pontifical Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church—, and “jeweler” Ashot Sukiasyan are shareholders in an offshore company called Wlispera Holdings Limited, which is registered in Cyprus. Sargsyan and Kjoyan, however, have denied their involvement in such company.
