Member of Parliament Victor Dallakyan, Ardarutiun Alliance, proposed
to set up an ad hoc committee to study the state of the Armenian
civil aviation. He managed to gather only 26 signatures instead of
the 44 required for including the question in the agenda. While Victor
Dallakyan promises to launch another effort during the next meeting on
June 12-16, the Audit Chamber of the National Assembly carried out an
audit of the General Department of Civil Aviation in 2005. By the way,
the 2005 report of the Audit Chamber is on the agenda of the National
Assembly, but it is not discussed due to the recent political battles.

The Audit Chamber found out that the GDCA failed to transfer the means
that were not spend in the fiscal year, over 1 million dollars, to the
state budget. Hence, the government decision 216 N was violated. In
2003-2004 the government did not make any decisions on accrual and
use of extra-budget funds, and the Ministry of Finance did not give an
approval. The GDCA received financial assistance from other companies,
a total of 108 million drams. This money was spent without drawing
up a bill of quantities, without a government decision, which is a
violation of the RA Law on the Budgetary System.
