Yerevan, September 12. /Mediamax/. The U.S. Embassy received from an

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

concerned", Mediamax was told in the press service of the
