By providing tax privileges to the Armenian Apostolic Church the state
must compensate the gap of the community budget, member of the Public
Council Khosrov Harutyunyan said speaking to Armenpress.
"The issue is not in giving or not giving such privileges to the
church. The thing is that the National Assembly does not have right
to reduce the budget incomes of local self-governmental bodies. The
NA cannot establish by law privileges of property tax and land tax
without compensating equal sums of these privileges - from state
budget to community budget," Harutyunyan said.
Chairman of the National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan has expressed
concern over the issue, pointing out that certain part of the
establishments are under subordination of the communities and may
reduce the entries of the community budget.
The Armenian Apostolic Church has submitted a list of 286 institutions
that must get use of the privileges but the list is not complete and
may be filled.
