GURGEN ARSENYAN. "I AM NOT AGAINST SCHOOL, I AM AGAINST PRIVILEGES AT THE EXPENSE OF ARMENIA."
October 25 2013
The issue of granting tax and customs privileges to Dilijan
International School was not definitely accepted by various
segments of the society. PAP MP Gurgen Arsenyan voted "against"
to the bill at the Parliament, saying that "he is against changing
the sovereign interests of Armenia with money." ANC member Nikol
Pashinyan expressed doubt, "Other representatives of authorities
hinted in their speeches that if the Parliament grants privileges,
Ruben Vardanyan will continue implementing this project, otherwise,
he will terminate investing the project." Yesterday, the government
officially approved "Dilijan International School" project, and the
list of organizations that will be engaged in its implementation. This
decision forms a special legal framework for enforcement of RA law
on "Granting tax and customs privileges within the framework of
"Dilijan International School" program". By another decision, the
cabinet has approved the procedure for application of the tax and
customs benefits under the project. To the question of Aravot.am
whether by his opinion which are benefits and losses of Dilijan
school to Armenia, Mr. Arsenyan replied that principally he is not
against implementation of any school or educational program in our
country, he is against doing a favor at the expense of the country,
"I have always voted against when the matter is about granting any
privilege at the expense of Armenia." In his wording, the authorities
of Armenia cover their lack of talent by granting privileges to
this-or-that project, while some one bringing money to Armenia, is
not a favor at all. "These authorities are helpless and talentless,
and not the people, if people were talentless, they would not achieve
so much success outside," he said.
"Billions of transfers are annually coming from Russia to Armenia,
that is, these people are doing favor, if it is so, let them be given
privileges as well," said the PAP MP.
