Civilitas Foundation circulated a statement today. It reads:
"It's already two weeks the attention and efforts of the Civilitas
Foundation and CivilNet media have been diverted from their main
mission. Instead of focusing on our mission of strengthening civil
society and providing people with alternative and impartial news, we
are responding to questions proceeding from the groundless criminal
case on "money laundering and tax evasion".
The National Security Service has been diverted from its important
mission of really ensuring national security and has been forced to get
involved in a search for facts that are necessary for substantiating
the conclusion made. It's obvious that all this is aimed at impeding
the activity of Civilitas Foundation and CivilNet.
During the four years of the foundation's existence the projects
initiated by the Civilitas Foundation have been implemented and
are being implemented in line with the Foundation's Charter and the
legislation of the Republic of Armenia. All our activities are audited
on a regular basis.
Suspecting any member of the board and/or any employee of the
Civilitas Foundation of a crime is an alarm to the professional new
generation of Armenia who are devoted to their job, who realize it
is their responsibility and right to participate in the governance
of this country.
Generally speaking, it's inadmissible and reprehensible that the name
of such a great benefactor as John Huntsman-a person who has been
carrying out invaluable charity acts and making great contributions
to Armenia since the country's independence- is mentioned in all this.
Are the Armenian authorities ready to alienate all those people and
institutions that have made great contributions to the democratization
and development of our country?
The large public support that the Civilitas Foundation has been
receiving on these days shows that we will continue our task of
defending the rights of citizens of Armenia together."
