May 30, 2013 | 17:06
YEREVAN. - The Armenian National Assembly (NA) on Thursday continued
its session devoted to the discussion of the 2012 Budget performance.
During the session, opposition Armenian National Congress bloc
NA Faction Secretary Aram Manukyan asked whether the view of the
Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) was considered when selling
the Government of Armenia Building No.2-where the country's Foreign
Affairs, Energy and Natural Resources, and Territorial Administration
Ministries currently function.
In response, First Deputy Finance Minister and Chief Treasurer Atom
Janjughazyan stated that this question is inaccurate because this
building is the property of Armenia, and not the MFA, and therefore
there is no need for MFA's permission to sell the building.
To note, the Government of Armenia Building No.2 was sold by way
of auction to Tango Company, which belongs to Argentinean-Armenian
businessman Eduardo Eurnekian.
