MP Vardan Ayvazyan owes entrepreneur Silva Hambartsumyan (pictured) $70,000 USD, Hambartsumyan said herself, in conversation with local daily Yerkir.<\/p>\n
“Republican [Party of Armenia] MP Vardan Ayvazyan owed me $500,000 \u2014 he gradually paid it off, but there’s still $70,000 owing,” she said, noting that she purchased a mine from Ayvazyan; however, since there were discrepancies between the mining area and it’s name, she returned it and is still waiting for Ayvazyan to give back all of her money.<\/p>\n
Weighing in on the deputy’s statement that “as you can see, half of the country has debts with Silva,” Hambartsumyan said Ayvazyan must have a huge opinion of himself if he thinks that he’s “half of Armenia”.<\/p>\n
The entrepreneur also admitted that she has no issues with speaking with Ayvazyan face-to-face and, in fact, it’s Ayvazyan who’s avoiding her.<\/p>\n
“Several times I saw both him and his driver. Recently too I saw him; he said I have to go to Georgia, to China… when I return I’ll give [you the money],” she explained, adding that two people in the country owe her money \u2014 Ayvazyan and Syunik regional councillor Surik (Suren) Khachatryan.<\/p>\n
“It’s a question of principle: he goes to casinos but doesn’t pay back a woman’s debt,” she said.<\/p>\n
Asked why she’s bringing up the issue now, she said her “cup of patience is full,” noting that she will respond to other questions at a press conference on Mar. 13.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
