    HAYPOST LOSES ABOUT AMD 2 BILLION
    By Ara Martirosian

    AZG Armenian Daily
    31/08/2007

    HayPost (Armenian Post) said yesterday it has lost more than AMD
    2 billion in past years due to systemic violation of vehicle fleet
    management procedures. It said it asked police to investigate into
    potential fraud and embezzlement.

    Based on the results of internal investigation into the management and
    operations of the vehicle fleet department of HayPost, the company
    revealed serious violations of working procedures by a large number
    of employees and officials of HayPost supposedly involving fraud and
    embezzlement, and inflicting significant losses on the company. This
    concerns procurement and usage of petrol, usage of vehicles, and
    repairs and maintenance of vehicles.

    The company said in a press release that the system of fraud and
    mismanagement has been apparently in place for at least the last
    five years. The company applied to the law enforcement authorities to
    investigate the matter and proceed accordingly. This move is the result
    of the Dutch Trust Management and the subsequent executive management
    changes of the company undertaken in July, 2007, aimed at creating
    an image of impartial, transparent accountable and reliable company.

    "HayPost" CJSC is the national postal operator of the Republic
    of Armenia operating through its 900 post offices throughout
    Armenia. Today HayPost is undergoing a number of organizational and
    operational changes with the purpose to ensure sustainable efficient
    services and serve its customers more proficiently.

    In compliance with the agreement signed on November 30, 2006 with
    the Government of Armenia, the Dutch HayPost Trust Management B.V. is
    currently responsible for the operational management of the Armenian
    national postal operator with the objective to strengthen HayPost as
    a viable and credible postal and financial service entity, meeting
    all international postal and bank standards.
