    The Civilitas Foundation is proud to acknowledge the recent donation
    of Mr. Eduardo Eurnekian in the amount of US$150,000 in support of
    Civilitas activities. In addition, Civilitas wishes to acknowledge the
    continued (and renewed support) of the Government of Norway in the
    amount of US$1.5 million.

    Civilitas continues to enjoy the support of the Black Sea Trust, the
    US Embassy and Counterpart International / USAID for current programs.

    Civilitas expresses thanks to all current donors as well as those with
    whom we have partnered in the past. They are: the Government of
    Germany, Government of Norway, Government of Poland, Government of
    Switzerland (SDC), Government of the Netherlands, Government of the UK
    (DFID), Government of the USA (USAID), OSCE, Eurasia Partnership
    Foundation, The German Marshall Fund of the US / Black Sea Trust.
    Special thanks go to Mr Jon Huntsman.

    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. In
    its turn, contrary to its own charter, the Civilitas Foundation failed
    to report on the taxation of the $2mln provided to Polymer Materials
    and Huntsman International for charity," says the NSS, adding that the
    case stipulates tax inspections, trade analyses, interrogations.
