Narek Nalbandyan Responds to Nikol Pashinyan's Statements

I have repeatedly denied this information and today I once again clearly state that I have no personal, family, or business ties with any current or former political force. This was stated by Narek Nalbandyan in a statement released by his network of eight supermarkets.

"In connection with the statement made by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during his press conference, I find it important to once again and definitively present my position. Various circles have repeatedly attempted to link my name and the business projects I carry out with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, his family members, or past authorities.

I have repeatedly denied this information and today I once again clearly state that I have no personal, family, or business ties with any current or former political force. I take full responsibility for all my investment and business decisions. They are carried out with my own resources, through the daily hard work of my team, and have an economic and investment vision.

I welcome the Prime Minister's position that no businessman should try to associate their activities with their name or their family's name, or create such an impression. I am confident that this statement will also put a definitive end to the baseless speculation surrounding my name that has circulated for years.

The goal of my activities has been and remains the implementation of investments in Armenia, the restoration and development of production, the creation of new jobs, and contributing to the development of the country's economy. I operate based on the interests of Armenia and its economy. My business has no ties to any political family. My position on this issue is clear, and this topic is exhausted for me.

Attached are also the previous denial statements.

Respectfully, Narek Nalbandyan," he noted.
