In the aftermath of Russian-Georgian war Armenia fixed 670 million
dollars damage, which is expressed in lost revenues, postponed
investments, announced Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan in
National Assembly, answering to independent deputy Viktor Dallakyan’s
question whether the Prime Minister discussed it during his visit to
America about the possible compensation of the damage.
"The position of the President of Armenia and the Government is that
the international bodies should discuss the current question lying
under the interest of regional countries and not one state, and that
the damages should be compensated, or financial and technical support
should be provided," said the Prime Minister.
According to the Prime Minister the current problem has been discussed
with Dick Chainy and Condoleezza Rice, as well as in World Monetary
Fund.
"We are going to get that support, and first it will be a technical
one. C. Rice has promised that to us. We have certain agreements with
World Bank and World Monetary Fund," he said.
