YEREVAN. – President of Armenia’s Constitutional Court Gagik Harityunyan commented on the remark of Cypriot Prosecutor General concerning registration of offshore companies.

During his visit to Armenia, Petros Clerides said a person cannot be registered as a shareholder of an offshore company without his consent.

“I have no reason not to trust him [Petros Clerides]. He knows their legislation better than I do,” Harutyunyan said after reporters asked him to comment on Clerides’ remarks.

Harutyunyan added he cannot comment on the issue which he had not studied properly.

Hetq.am website has recently published an article telling about an offshore company allegedly set up by PM Tigran Sargsyan, Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan and others. Premier Sargsyan has already filed a petition to the prosecutor’s office.  

Responding to accusations, Armenian PM claimed it is not difficult to register an offshore company in the name of a person without having his permission.
