NA DISCUSSES PRIVATIZATION OF STATE PROPERTY
As a result of privatization processes in 2001-2003, the state property was squandered away, Hovhannes Margarian, member of Orinats Yerkir Party, said at parliament on April 11. He said that the government keeps complaining of the lack of financial sources. He added that this is quite possible, as the property costing AMD 5 billion 850 millions was sold at AMD 950 million, which makes the 16,2 % of its real cost. In particular, the assets of Orbita CJSC were valued at AMD 3 billion 212 millions but the company was privatized for AMD 116 million, which makes 3,6% of its real cost. "How can our authorities restore the banking deposits of the population or secure the residents of earthquake zone with flats, to reconstruct the transportation infrastructures of Ashotsk and Amasiya regions that connect Armenia with Javakhk if the people's wealth had been squandered?" he posed a rhetoric question.
