OSKANIAN: THEY HINDER ACTIVITIES OF CIVILITAS
Wednesday,
March 20
The Civilitas Foundation has attracted funds to Armenia, rather than
has taken resources from the country's state budget, the ex-Foreign
Minister of Armenia, member of Prosperous Armenia party (BHK) Vartan
Oskanian told RFE/RL Armenia Service.
"I have repeatedly said that what is taking place against Civilitas
is baseless. I am accused of embezzlement. And I am accused by the
authorities who are knee-deep in kickbacks. There are two proceedings
now - against me and Civilitas, both are political ones," Vartan
Oskanian stated.
In his words, checks have been conducted in Civilitas for a year,
hindering the Foundation's normal activities.
"This is a form of pressure. I declare officially that the National
Security Service is hindering our work. I am asking you to stop it,"
Vartan Oskanian said.
In his words, a lot of money could be attracted to Armenia.
"But there are two major conditions for receiving money: you must have
a program and gain confidence. Both factors are absent in our state.
For this reason, foreign investments are not made here and the external
debt is increasing" Oskanian said, adding that he and the Civilitas
Foundation have a single task of promoting the country's development.
