    The U.S. Embassy passed to the Armenian government documents from the
    "Global Gold" Company, which contained allegations in corruption
    against officials-12.09.06

    Yerevan, September 12. /Mediamax/. The U.S. Embassy received from an
    american "Global Gold" Company documents, containing allegations of
    corruption against Armenian officials.

    While asked by Mediamax's reporter, this was stated in the press
    service of the U.S. Embassy in Armenia. The Embassy officials stated
    that they carefully examined the documents and, finding the
    allegations present in them serious, immediately raised the issue with
    the government of Armenia.

    "We did not pass any recorded materials, as was erroneously reported
    in the press. But we did pass to the Armenian authorities some
    documents received from the "Global Gold" Company", Mediamax was told
    in the U.S. Embassy.

    "We continue to expect that any allegations of corruption by
    government officials will be taken seriously and investigated, just as
    they are in the United States", they stated in the U.S. Embassy. The
    Embassy does not consider it appropriate to comment any further on the
    nature of those allegations, inasmuch as they are unconfirmed. "We
    also continue to be in contact with the "Global Gold" Company, which
    has heard nothing further regarding their allegations and it makes us
    concerned", Mediamax was told in the press service of the
    U.S. Embassy.
