PanARMENIAN.Net - According to Haykakak Zhamanak daily, Kuwaiti
envoy to Armenia passed cheques to the amount of $100000 to a public
organization for coordination of Syrian Armenians issues.
The move enables a thousand Syrian Armenian families to get AMD 20000
cheques to purchase necessary products.
The only problem is that the cheques allow purchases solely from
Yerevan City supermarket chain, owned by an MP Samvel Aleksanyan.
According to the envoy, a Kuwaiti delegation was behind the choice
of the supermarkets.
"We'll be glad to hear a logical explanation to the fact that people
aren't given cash to spend as they see fit, instead being forced to
leave the sum at Yerevan City," the daily said.
