PanARMENIAN.Net - A member of Armenian National Congress (ANC)
opposition bloc, former Prime Minister disapproves of providing tax
benefits to Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC). "Land taxes should be
imposed on church property," Hrant Bagratyan told a news conference
in Yerevan, commenting on amendments to Laws on Property and Land
discussed Oct 24 at parliament. As Bagratyan noted, the amendments,
envisaging tax exemption for AAC, will give the Church clear advantages
over all the other entities. To prove his point, Bagratyan cited the
Church who took hold of the majority of the country's resources as
the reason for the downfall of Arshakuni Dynasty.
