TOTAL ROBBERY AND “ESTRANGEMNT”
Support A1+!The bill on the “account establishment on the program implementation of the 2001 - 2003 state property privatizations” was put on the agenda of the NA session yesterday. Today the NA Speaker Arthur Baghdasaryan and other important figures criticized the “estrangement” policy of the Government “as a result of which the RA budget had a loss of milliards AMD.” Arthur Baghdasaryan inquired why the same territory is sold for 1000 AMD in one case and for 100 000 AMD in another. The Chief of the State Property Department Karine Kirakosyan answered that the price is determined by a number of factors; the activity index, actives and liabilities of the enterprise are taken into account.
Before answering Arthur Baghdasaryan’s questions Karine Kirakosyan claimed that neither educational nor primary educational institutions were alienated or privatized. The NA Speaker informed her that 535 nursery schools and 250 libraries were already privatized.
Today the Opposition was also very active. The vice-deputy of the “Justice” party Victor Dallakyan divulged all the cases of privatization which were realized directly and the buyer was known beforehand; for instance, the company “Orbita” was estimated 150 million AMD whereas it was privatized with 150 million AMD. Let’s bring another example, “Light” LTD was estimated 106 million AMD whereas it was privatized with 10 million 825 thousand AMD.
The member of the party “Orinats Yerkir” (“Country of Law”) Hovhannes Margaryan brought other examples of privatization and 6 examples of companies alienated with lower price. The member of the party “National Unity” Aghasy Arshakyan announced that the country is subjected to total robbery, “the economy was destroyed and sold for nothing.”
