ARKA
July 23
RA President Serge Sargsyan reported that the Armenian enterprises
transferred to Russia against Armenia’s debts will be managed by the
private sector.
A $93mln agreement on the transfer of Armenian enterprises against
Armenia’s national debt to that country was signed in 2002.
Under the document, the following enterprises were transferred
to Russia: Mars CJSC ($56.29mln), Yerevan Research Institute of
Mathematical Machines ($2.75mln), Yerevan Research Institute of
Automated Research System ($3.37mln), Yerevan Research Institute of
Materials Science ($0.35mln) and Hrazdan heat and power plant (HHP).
"The issue of transfer of the enterprises to private management was
settled a week before my visit to Moscow. This is the only possible
solution to the problem of re-operating the enterprises, and serious
changes in this issue should be expected," President Sargsyan said. The
RA President was on a working visit to Moscow on June 23-25. P.T.
