"Hraparak" newspaper writes:
"According to our information, the State Revenue Committee recently inspected the Liana Garden Hall restaurant in Parakar, owned by the family of Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Narek Mkrtchyan. They told that abuses and violations were recorded, but SRC employees did not close the restaurant, although they had sufficient grounds. We verified the information from Minister Narek Mkrtchyan. "Yes, the restaurant belongs to my uncle, but I am not aware of these checks. Even if they find violations, they will take appropriate action." When he was asked, "Didn't they inform him that they did inspections at his uncle's restaurant?", he said: "Of course not, even if there is such a practice, I myself will prevent my informing." And by what means did the minister's uncle acquire that luxurious and expensive restaurant complex? "When I was 3 years old or I was not even born, my uncle had businesses both in Armenia and outside of Armenia." It should be noted that the prosecutor's office goes back and forth to the Soviet years and demands to justify the origin of their property".
