    The paper says it has contacted the US Embassy in Yerevan to find out
    whether the ex-nature protection minister, who now chairs a
    parliamentary committee, will be given a permit to the United States
    in connection a federal Court ruling over the Global Gold Mining case.

    It comes after the Southern District Court of New York ordered Vardan
    Ayvazyan, the head of the National Assembly's Committee on Economic
    Affairs, to pay $37.5 million in damages to the company for the loss
    of one of its licenses in Armenia.

    `We do not have specific procedures for considering separate cases,
    but final decisions are made after the submission of visa applications
    and an interview,' an employee of the Embassy was quoted as telling
    the paper.

    Asked whether a US court ruling can affect an Armenian citizen, the
    embassy representative said they cannot give any comment as to the
    legal conclusion of US courts.
