    NKR REPRESENTATION TO ARMENIA WORKS BADLY

    Today the chair of the NKR National Assembly Committee of Foreign
    Affairs Vahram Atanesyan criticized the activities of the NKR
    representation to Armenia. He voiced concern that the representation
    has as many workers as the NKR foreign ministry and in 2007 about
    79.5 million drams was provided for sustaining the representation but
    the result of activities of the representation is not seen. Vahram
    Atanesyan thinks it is a waste of money, because what the NKR
    representation is now doing could be done by a smaller staff.

    The member of parliament said the staffs of the other representations
    of NKR to four countries are small but their activities are
    tangible. In answer to the question of Vahram Atanesyan what the
    representation of Armenia is doing in Armenia, the deputy foreign
    minister Edward Atanesyan said when the NKR foreign minister was
    Arman Melikyan, his residence was in Yerevan, and the efforts were
    concentrated there. According to the deputy minister, currently the
    representation performs political and consular functions. Besides
    meetings and news conferences the representation also receives
    documents on humanitarian programs for Karabakh, etc.

    Of the 79.5 million drams allocated for the representation in 2007 87
    percent was spent. And of the 218 million 512 thousand drams foreseen
    for the NKR ministry of foreign affairs (including the other four
    representations) 80.5 percent was spent. The minister of finance said
    the money was saved from salary, business trips and telephone bills.
