    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ If Russia cannot or does not want owing to some
    reasons to run enterprises Armenia gave it for paying off the state
    debt, it can privatize these, Armenian NA Vice-Speaker, Co-Chair of
    the Armenian-Russian Interparliamentary Commission Vahan Hovhannisyan
    said. "The fact itself that Russia followed the principle of Property
    for Debt cannot be welcomed. Many countries owe Russia more but Russia
    could not forgive Armenia $100 million," he said.

    In Hovhannisyan's words, the Armenian party has proposed an interesting
    plan for running the enterprises. "Russia can present it to Russian
    businessmen and then real money will arrive at the Russian treasury. A
    subcommittee is already formed to provide for effective work of those
    enterprises. Its first session adopted the plan of priority measures.

    We hope for serious investment and reconstruction of those enterprises,
    as well as running them finally," Vahan Hovhannisyan underscored.

    Shares of Armenian enterprises totaling $93 million were conveyed to
    Russia in 2002. These are Mars CJSC ($56.29 million), Yerevan Research
    Institute of Automated Management Systems CJSC ($3.37 million), Yerevan
    Research Institute of Mathematical Machines CJSC ($2.75 million),
    Yerevan Research Institute of Science of Materials CJSC ($0.35
    million), and property of the Hrazdan heat power plant ($31 million).
