    MASS MEDIA: AMERICAN BENEFACTOR JON HUNTSMAN SCRAPS HIS PROGRAMS IN ARMENIA

    American businessman and benefactor Jon Huntsman is scrapping his
    programs in Armenia. Huntsman made that decision in 2014. The reason
    is the legal action initiated against the Civilitas Foundation in
    Armenia. To recall, the legal action involved Hunstman's name.

    Hraparak (Square) newspaper says that Huntsman's image in the United
    States has considerably suffered following the legal action against
    the Civilitas Foundation and now the benefactor has lost confidence
    in Armenian partners.

    "Though Huntsman has no financial problems and though he expressed an
    intention to a implement a number of projects in Armenia in the field
    of education and healthcare, nevertheless, the benefactor decided to
    give up the idea. The projects implied investments worth millions of
    dollars", says the newspaper.

    To remind, a criminal case was instituted against ex-Foreign Minister
    of Armenia Vartan Oskanian, who founded the Civilitas Foundation in
    2012. He was charged with misappropriation of the funds allocated
    by Huntsman for charity. Oskanian's supporters claimed that the case
    was politically charged and was connected with Oskanian's criticism
    against the incumbent authorities
