In the view of inquires of some mass media directed to us and related to certain statements pertaining to the President of Armenia, we see due to inform that:
President Armen Sarkissian files annually the income declaration. It is an open document where the income and financial means of the President are stated clearly.

President Armen Sarkissian and any member of his family, directly or indirectly, in the past on in present never made any investment and will not make in the future in Azerbaijan or Turkey.

Besides, Armen Sarkissian never was a shareholder of the British Petroleum company. As mentioned in the official curriculum vitae of the President, he served as a Senior Consultant and, according to the contract, the Caucasus was not in the framework of his activities. In addition, the British Petroleum is an open stock company, each shareholder of which is known. Any individual familiar with using the internet can identify their names easily.

There are hundreds of companies which use the Knightsbridge location name. They are engaged in various and different from each other areas, in different countries of the world, have different owners and shareholders. A small group of companies, under “Knightsbridge” name, which Armen Sarkissian was dealing with, ceased to exist long ago. Neither of that companies had ever made investments in the projects of the British Petroleum company or in Azerbaijan.

All the voiced concerns are far-fetched and implausible.
