    DIAMOND PROCESSING FACTORY TO BE BUILT IN STEPANAKERT


    During last six years the amount of foreign investments in Karabagh
    made $ 50 millions. Investments were mainly made by Lebanon,
    Switzerland, the U.S., the U. K., Russia, Iran and Australia. In
    2000-2005 the number of enterprises in the Republic grew 19, 2% due
    to the investments. At the same time businessmen from Karabagh
    invested $ 4, 1 million in the country's economy.
    The investments were made in the spheres of TV, bank activity, hotel
    business, mining, production of raw materials and other spheres.
    About 3,000 new jobs were opened in the Republic due to private
    investments.
    MicroCut Diamonds will build a diamond processing factory in
    Stepanakert. The firm will invest approximately $ 1, 5 millions in
    the project and open 200 jobs.
    The NKR government believes tax field in Karabagh is quite favorable
    for investors. However, according to the candidate of Economic
    Sciences, docent Ruzanna Mangasarian, despite the fact the
    investments made in the Republic were not much.
    `'Such phenomenon testifies that the investors do not wish to invest
    money in Karabagh, as it is a high risk zone, Artsakh is an
    unattractive country from this viewpoint. Besides, the fact that
    Karabagh's status has not been determined and it has not been
    recognized becomes a big obstacle for cooperation with the
    international organizations and banks'', Ruzanna Mangasarian told
    Karabakh Open.
