Let the feast begin

I’m not sure who the businessman mentioned below is, but all I can tell you is that whatever money is given to the government we have today, based on what the Minister of Territorial Administration, Armo Tsaturyan told me during our January 7, 2007 meeting, money that is spent on the types of projects mentioned in the story below are eaten up and very little gets to where it is intended. This assessment of the situation is literally straight from the horses mouth.

STEPANAKERT, FEBRUARY 9, ARMENPRESS:
Moscow-based businessmen of Armenian origin have pledged $15 million in assistance to Nagorno-Karabkh's government to help it implement a series of humanitarian programs and improve irrigation systems in a number of rural areas.

The pledge was made last week when Nagorno-Karabkh leader Arkady Ghukasian was visiting Moscow and met with these businessmen. Ghukasian was in Moscow to be confered the titles of member of two Russian acadmies.

One is called Russian Academy for Security, Defense and Legal Issues and the other is called International Relations Science Academy.
