What was discussed at the closed meeting of the CP? "Publication"
"Hraparak" writes: "On August 22, under the leadership of Nikol Pashinyan, the ruling party held another gathering, a session of the Initiative Group. According to the official release of the "Civil Agreement" party, "They discussed the activities carried out by the State Control Service and its results. The head of the service, Romanos Petrosyan, made a report and answered the questions of the session participants.
It is known that the CP takes turns "inspection" from the heads of state departments and bodies subordinate to the government, they talk about the effectiveness and shortcomings of the structures they lead, they have already "examined" Anahit Avanesyan, Gnel Sanosyan, and yesterday, in fact, it was Romanos' turn. It was Petrosyan's. We were told that despite the strong masses in KP are gossiping about Romanos Petrosyan in the 27/4 regime, considering that he, not having high-quality knowledge, is jumping from position to position and is still leading an important and very responsible sector, essentially controlling management of state budget funds, but the discussion of Romanos Petrosyan's activities took place in a mild and constructive atmosphere, because Romanos is one of Nikol Pashinyan's "lyubimchiks", one of the most loyal, and at Thursday's session, Pashinyan "spread his wings" over Petrosyan, answering for him in some cases. when he saw that the head of the PES is incompetent in some matters and cannot come out from under some questions. It can be said that the members of the Communist Party did not want to get into unnecessary trouble, they did not gossip about Romanos Petrosyan, so as not to become a thorn in Pashinyan's side. They told that there were 2-3 questions and almost as many speeches.
The members of the CP, however, have gently made it clear that the institution headed by Romanos Petrosyan makes more noise than it makes disclosures in relation to state institutions, and it was thought that we are reading long-winded messages about waste, abuses, and spending the budget in an inappropriate manner, but not a word about those who are being punished. Romanos Petrosyan has long and thinly justified that they are doing their work excellently, they are sending the findings to the investigative bodies to deal with the given department and officials. He directly said that it is necessary to demand from those bodies how it turns out that there are no guilty and punished people.
He said that for about a year, he has created a so-called preventive department in the PES, which deals with and controls the procurement sector, spending more than 10 million drams, when violations are noticed, they inform the department in question to correct them. Then he made an absurd confession that he fought for almost a year for the Ministry of Finance to blacklist company X, but in the end he found out that the same company won a purchase tender in the institution he was managing.
Romanos Petrosyan did not say anything about the expected new findings, and statistics were not presented in which areas in particular state funds are used inefficiently or wasted.
We have noticed that Romanos Petrosyan almost always accompanies Pashinyan during regional visits. On this occasion, in the CP, they joke that Pashinyan is trying to catch people's fear in the presence of Romanos, that he will personally report and then process the existing deficiencies, and that is why he is bringing Romanos so that they can see that the State Control Service is watching everyone."
