The NKR government has worked out a bill on remitting the debt of the
ATA Vank Les company and extended it to the parliament. The bill states
that the checking in 2002 revealed that the company owes 142.2 million
drams of taxes and social payments.

During the meeting of government Prime Minister Ara Harutiunyan
underlined that remitting taxes will enable the company to expand the
volume of production.

The modern woodworking company ATA Vank Les belongs to the famous
benefactor Levon Hairapetyan who has funded the repair of the road to
Gandzasar Monastery (13 century), construction of a school, a modern
hotel, and infrastructures in the village of Vank. In 2002
controversies occurred between Levon Hairapetyan and the Karabakh
government, as a result of which tax debts `appeared’. Several years
ago the `controversy’ was smoothed, but the former government did not
remit Levon Hairapetyan’s debt.
