    BISHOP MKRTCHYAN'S HYDRO-PLANTS...AND MORE
    Kristine Aghalaryan

    July 17, 2012

    When I first wrote about Bishop Abraham Lazarian's link to the
    three hydro-electric power stations in the village of Hermon, Hetq
    was besieged with comments.

    Many came to the rescue of Bishop Lazarian, Primate of the Vayots
    Dzor Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, arguing that the
    clergyman couldn't possibly have any commercial interests in local
    electricity generation.

    Tatev Artzrouni, coordinator of the Syunik Benevolent Organization,
    also responded, assuring me that the Elegis plant belonged to them
    and was constructed by a German company. (Elegis once operated two
    plants in Hermon).

    It's now time to add a degree of reality to the issue by presenting
    some facts.

    The Syunik Social Benevolent Organization was registered in 2004. The
    founders were Garik Shahgaldyan, Mayis Lazarian and Gevorg Lazarian
    (see image below). Let's look at the names in order.
