A delegation of the Armenian Economy and Finance Ministry headed
by minister and chief of EBRD Yerevan offshoot Vartan Khachatrian
will leave for the 15th annual meeting of the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development in London May 21-22, the press service
of the Ministry informs.
This is perhaps no extraordinary a news but for the information that
Vartan Khachatrian is also the head of EBRD Yerevan offshoot. Answering
our inquiries at the Ministry’s press service they said that the
economy and finance minister is also the holder of the head of EBRD
national offshoot.
It’s merely strange that Armenia’s economy and finance minister can be
meantime a head of an international organization in our country. What
law regulates these positions and why does not the same minister head
offices of, say, the World bank or the US Agency for International
Development?
