YEREVAN, MARCH 10, NOYAN TAPAN. The state should take measures so that ordinary citizens and small business will not carry the main burden of the global financial crisis, while big business will assume the major part of the problem's solution, the Ombudsman of the RA Armen Harutyunian stated at the March 10 press conference. According to him, he is concerned about the Armenian authotities' previous statements that "the crisis will not reach us". "It means that we have created a closed Stalin-type system," the ombudsman said. At the request of a reporter, A. Harutyunian commented on the prime minister Tigran Sargsyan's statement that "spite and intolerance are casting new cartridges: there will be new murders if we are unable to change radically this atmosphere". By saying "murders", T. Sargsyan meant "the October 27 assassinations". The ombudsman said that there will be no new murders, and the prime minister's wording was not good. "We should realize that tolerance should become a component of our culture," A. Harutyunian underlined.
