A conference of representatives of the religious organization The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) will be held in
Yerevan June 17.
A Yerevan-based newspaper "Hraparak" writes that many Mormons from the
USA will attend the event. The given report is quite significant in
the light of the criminal case against Civilitas Foundation founded by
ex-foreign minister of Armenia, parliamentarian representing
Prosperous Armenia Party, Vardan Oskanyan. The criminal case mentions
the name of John Huntsman, one of the heads of the Mormon Church.
The criminal case against the Civilitas Foundation concerns the $2mln
transaction for the sale of Huntsman Building Products, an
Armenia-based company owned by US-based Polymer Materials and Huntsman
International, says the National Security Service of Armenia. "As a
result of some inaccuracies in the contract, the transaction was not
submitted to the tax authorities and therefore left untaxed. Of the
charity funds left in Armenia according to the wish of the American
side, as much as $1,135,000 was not spent for charity but was
transferred to accounts opened by the founder and president of the
Civilitas Foundation Vartan Oskanian and the Foundation's trustee
Tigran Karapetyan, with part of the money used for personal needs.
Oskanyan, in turn, considers the criminal case fabricated in order to
exert political pressure upon him.
