Yerevan/Mediamax/. Head of the Office of the Armenian second President Victor Soghomonyan called the analytical article of "Regnum" information agency which read that Robert Kocharyan maintains a shadow economy in Armenia "low-grade propaganda".

Commenting on the publication upon Mediamax's request, Victor Soghomonyan said:

"Overall, I can only be sorry that "Regnum" information agency started serve a mouthpiece of a low-grade propaganda from time to time. As for the certain article, it's funny not only due to the absurdity of the content which isn't inferior to the recent "information" according to which Robert Kocharyan purchased either a Cyprus island or the whole Cyprus (there was a more genial version - "an island on Cyprus").

"If you know the author of the article and know some of his closest relatives, his reflections on the shadow economy, robbery of the country with the help of the administrative resource and "central political clans" may only evoke one's laughter", noted the head of the Office of the second Armenian President.
