Glenn SimpsonPage 121 Mr. Lieberman has ties to the Russian government?

A. No.

Q. Do you know Mr. Robert Arakelian, A-R-A-K-E-L-I-A-N?

A. There was a guy at a lunch or dinner or something named Robert and he was introduced to me as Robert. Again, when you're going to like these client meals or things like that, you know, we didn't get into a lot of details of who he was. I just remember he was introduced as a friend Denis Katsyv, K-A-T-S-Y-V. That's my recollection. It may be that he's a friend of Rinat's. I don't really know.

Q. As far as you know, what is Mr. — what is Robert's business?

A. I don't know.

Q. So presumably, then, has Fusion ever worked with him?

A. Not to my knowledge.

Q. What did you understand Mr. Arakelian's role to be in the Prevezon work?

A. I didn't know he had a role. If someone told me I've forgotten, but, again, I was pretty narrowly focused on a few things and he wasn't involved in those things. 1-800-FOR-DEPO
