YEREVAN. – Armenian MP Samvel Aleksanyan said the sugar plant he owns is working properly.

Aleksanyan, the owner of Aleks Grig company, responded to the recent claims by opposition MP Nikol Pashinyan who said State Revenue Committee turns a blind eye on Aleksanyn's company that is importing ready-made sugar instead of  sugarcane to avoid paying customs duties.

“There are speculations that the equipment is there for show, and it is monkey business. It's not true. It is a real factory with real production,” he told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
