/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The authorities of the Armenian SSR received some 4
billion rubles from Moscow immediately after the 1988 earthquake. 2
billion was deposited in banks. However, the sum disappeared after the
USSR decline and hundreds of families remained homeless, Norayr
Muradyan, the former head of the Spitak district committee told a news
conference today.
`Armenia received $40 million of foreign aid. $10 million was not
spent on the needs of the calamity zone,' he said. `We have already
addressed Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to make causes
clarified. The authorities of Russian and Armenia should furnish
explanation and return these funds.'
Besides, the Russian PM was offered to form a building company to
participate in reconstruction of destructed towns and villages.
Mr. Muradyan also informed that the Moscow Organization Committee
published a book dated to the 20th anniversary of the devastating
earthquake. `A memorial to the earthquake victims will be accomplished
within 5 years,' he said.
