YEREVAN, DECEMBER 6, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA National Assembly on December
6 passed in first reading the government’s draft law which envisages
additions and amendments to the RA Law on the 2006-2007 Program on
State Property Privatization. Particularly, the government proposes
adding another 5 companies, including 3 companies and the Hrazdan
Sports Complex under the jurisdiction of the RA Defence Ministry, to
the list of companies with a state share to be privatized. Besides,
it is proposed that about 10 companies, most of which are cultural
facilities, should be taken off the program’s list. The opposition
factions – Justice, Orinats Yerkir and National Unity – and some
independent deputies were against adoption of the draft law.
