In 2009, the presidential control service managed to return the total of AMD 1,4 billion to the state budget and Armenian citizens due to inspections performed in various sectors, the head of the structure Hovhannes Hovsepyan stated.

As he told a news conference in Yerevan, the majority of violations were discovered in the metal mining industry.

“Many officials were dismissed after the control service-conducted inspections. The presidential control service leaves no area unmonitored,” he stressed.
