ArmInfo. On the fact of  illegal alienation of land adjacent to the free economic zone  "Megri", a criminal case. The press service of the RA Police  reports.According to the source, the Directorate for Combating  Corruption and Economic Crimes of the RA Police received a signal  that in 2014, during the implementation of the process of creating a  free economic zone in the Karchevan community of Syunik region, the  head of this community and other officials were abused. 

In the process of preparing the investigation materials, evidence was  obtained that the abuses were committed both by the head of the  community and by the former heads of the real estate cadastre  committee.It turned out that in July 2014, the then head of the Real  Estate Cadastre Committee and his deputy visited the Karchevan  community. where, pointing to the head of the community in the  territory adjacent to CJSC "Free Economic Zone Meghri", announced the  initiative of the then prime minister to begin the process of  alienation of these territories in favor of CJSC "ESIA".

Then the head of the company, who visited the head of the community,  demanded that he organize the sale of these territories through  competitive bidding, in which other participants would formally  participate.  After that, the head of the community organized the  illegal alienation of these lands fromusing obviously falsified  documents. Thus, one of the members of the Council of Elders signed a  protocol on the allegedly held meeting of the Council of Elders, at  which the decision on alienation was taken. Meanwhile, as noted by  the RA Police, in fact there was no meeting of the Council. Based on  these agreements, 3,209,948 ha of land were alienated at a price of  1.540.000 drams, 550.000 drams and 385.000 drams. 

Thus, the community suffered enormous damage.Moreover, the head of  the community, already being informed about the prospect of creating  a free economic zone, on the basis of vested interests and abusing  his official position, sold 1,378 hectares of land adjacent to the  zone. A criminal case was initiated on this fact according to the  first part of Article 308 and the first part of Article 314 of the RA  Criminal Code. The investigation continues. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
