HOVIK ABRAHAMYAN'S SENSATIONAL STATEMENT
Today the National Assembly continues discussion of the draft law on
tax and customs allowances for the project of Dilijan International
School. MPs are dissatisfied with the lack of a clear plan. Deputy
finance minister Suren Karayan said yesterday the plan is to be made
later once the parliament adopts the law.
In his speech, Hovik Abrahamyan said that the project is important
for Armenia, at least in this phase when the government is criticized
for lack of investments. The speaker expressed concern about the lack
of plan urging the government to produce one.
Hovik Abrahamyan wondered who is going to control imported goods,
the amount of it and the demand for them. He noted that the State
Revenue Committee should exercise strict control over the process.
Hovik Abrahamyan called on MPs to inform the government whether they
have acquaintances who are ready to invest in Armenia.
He said that the government should grant tax allowances to such
projects. He said that in Georgia, for example, the municipality
allocates land plots free of charge for people to make investments. He
asked whether there are similar examples in Yerevan. He underlined the
importance of this amendment also for the creation of new jobs. Hovik
Abrahamyan said the parliament could sit and discuss to grant or not
to grant tax allowances as soon as there are enough investors.
