The decision to repay Vorotan Hydro Cascade's debts by providing a 46.73% share in Nairit-2 CJSC is the Armenian government's "latest perversion," said Armenian National Congress (HAK) faction secretary Aram Manukyan, in conversation with Epress.am.
In the opposition MP's opinion, when a loss of money is discovered, instead of launching a case with the Special Investigation Service, the Government of the Republic of Armenia decides to cover the losses on account of another property. According to Manukyan, the Vorotan debt became known only after he contacted the general prosecutor about the sale of the hydro complex.
"There are two main violations in the Vorotan issue. The transaction for sale is contrary to the laws of Armenia, since such a strategic object cannot be sold. Second, it is sold at a price significantly below cost. I contacted the prosecutor regarding these issues; there is yet no response," he said.
According to him, the government, in fact, not only is not fulfilling the demands of the four non-ruling parties in parliament (in particular, the demand not to sell the Vorotan Hydroelectric Power Plant Complex), but also made another illegal decision on the Vorotan issue.
