The report of Vahan Hovanisyan, Chairman of Temporary Commission on
“Studying Efficiency of Usage of Credits, Relief and Transferring
Received from Foreign States and Organizations”, was read up
in Parliament. MPs assessed it positively. Let’s remind that the
Commission had referred to the fact of receiving the grants and misuse
of them in the water sphere.

Commending Commission activity, MP Manuk Gasparyan at the same
time stated that the work won’t be productive. He bases it with the
example of Temporary Commission on Energy Issues 4 years ago. It spread
activity for 8 months, disclosed flagrant breaches, introduced them to
Office of Prosecutor but the process was frozen some time later. Only
after reveals made by Commission on Credit Usage Gagik Martirosyan,
Chairman of State Committee on Water Economy was dismissed.

Parliament Speaker Arthur Baghdasaryan as well appraised that a part
of credits had been misappropriated.

Parliament intends elongating Commission activity for 1 year. Arthur
Baghdasaryan stated that the issue on extending the activity up to
June, 2005, would be discussed the following day.

According to Vahan Hovanisyan, in the future Commission will refer
to application of the means allotted by “Lincy” Fund.
