NOTHING TO THE AVIATION

Politics

“Nothing is allocated to such an important field as is aviation,” announced deputy of “Justice” faction Tatul Manaseryan today.

“Justice” will soon suggest setting up a commission which will deal with the issues of aviation. The commission will be aimed at the survey of the current situation in the field of civic aviation and will try to find out measures of overcoming the crisis.

The commission will also observe the procedure of the implementation of investment programs in Zvartnots airport and aviation board. Tatul Manaseryan, deputy of the “Justice” faction made this announcement today.

He illustrated an example of investments and programs under way proving the fact that “great sums of money are being embezzled.”

According to him the aviation has spent 10.5 million USD for the reconstruction of 1800 meters runway whereas the same work was implemented in Dushambe with the same equipment at the cost of 2 million USD to reconstruct 3000 meters runway.

Tatul Manaseryan claims that the person who urges that aviation is not a profitable field leads people to confusion; “Aviation is doomed to work with profits,” stated the deputy and added that only the above mentioned field can put “1,5 – 2 budget on the table.”

In his words though the monopoly of the field was not affirmed, everybody is aware of the fact that many organizations hold various services and the sum accumulated goes into the pockets of definite people whereas normal aviation organizations were deprived of licenses.

By the way, “Justice” faction suggested to pass an air legislation which would regulate the sphere of aviation but the Government did not approve of the bill, and the chief of aviation board promised to give the deputy their bill 8 months ago but so far he hasn’t kept his promise.

It turns out that the representatives of the aviation are concerned by the similarity of the bill presented by the “Justice” faction with the air legislation of our military partner, RF. Tatul Manaseryan claims that there is nothing strange in the fact that they have much in common as, “We must speak in the same language if we are partners,” especially taking account the fact that our legislation is partly a copy of those of other countries. This is only the apparent ground for it, the main reason is the next grant given to the aviation.

Tatul Manaseryan reminded that the head of the civic aviation turned to the Defense Minister two months before signing the agreement and informed him that they cannot guarantee the security of flights. The letter did not find its response.
