The daily Haykakan Zhamanak writes about the death of the owner of Aray company Armen Poghosyan, 31, the corpse of who was found in his car October 15. The daily says according to the official information of the police the businessman committed suicide. The paper says it failed to receive any comments both from Aray and from the police, while news are circulating that Poghosyan was murdered. The paper claims that even non-professional eye will see a number of circumstances showing that it was a murder. The paper says the remarkable thing is that the funerals of Armen Poghosyan will be conducted in St. Hovhannes Church while the Armenian Apostolic Church rejects serving funerals for the persons who committed suicide. The paper says in this case it appears that the church too doubts that the businessman committed suicide.

The semi-weekly 168 Zham writes that it has learnt that the government is planning to present to the National Assembly drafts on making changes in about twenty laws relating to the sphere of tax and this may raise a quite big noise among the tax payers. The package particularly relates to gathering additional 101 billion AMD for the 2012 budget. The paper explains that these changes may promote the intended additional entries. The paper claims that with this aim the government offered the NA to make changes and increase taxes in a number of spheres. The package has not been included in the agenda of the NA, it is being initially discussed but the majority of the parliamentarians are dissatisfied with this initiative of the government.
