    ARKADY GHUKASYAN IS DISSATISFIED WITH ARMENIA FUND

    NKR President is dissatisfied and satisfied with the Armenia Fund.

    Simultaneously. Arkady Ghukasyan told his opinion to news reporters
    on May 5 during the break of the meeting of the board of trustees of
    the Armenia Fund in Yerevan. The president of Karabakh announced he
    had greater expectations than the present indices. "Our expectations
    are much greater. I think the Diaspora is a very powerful structure
    and the Diaspora can offer greater assistance to Karabakh. Second,
    we have problems with quality of work, and we find that the fund
    should enhance control," said Arkady Ghukasyan.

    This is an unexpected, even a sensational statement, for it is an
    unprecedented attempt of expressing dissatisfaction publicly.

    However, what happened is quite normal in the context of recently
    circulated information about the intention of the government of
    Karabakh to gain direct control on the money of the fund. In this
    context, reliable sources even report that Arkady Ghukasyan proposed
    to change the executive director of the fund but the president of
    Armenia refused.

    "You see, if there was such a proposal, I would not be standing here
    because we work. I think it is clear libel," said Executive Director
    Naira Melkumyan May 5 to the reporter, before the meeting of the
    board of trustees of the fund. The executive director is appointed
    by the board of trustees. This question was not found on the agenda
    of the annual meeting of the board, which means that it will not
    be taken up for another year. Although, an extraordinary meeting is
    possible. Especially that there are such moods. The evidence to it
    is the dissatisfaction of the NKR president with the activity of the
    fund. The president of NKR would hardly oppose to the entire fund. He
    might know that there are others who share his attitude. The evidence
    to this is his approach of changing the executive director. The
    NKR president does not think that the questions he raised would be
    settled by the change of the executive director, but he thinks that the
    question can be discussed. "It is a question to be decided by the board
    of trustees, I cannot decide alone. I think that we must solve the
    problem. There are several ways of solving the problem. At any rate,
    this is a question that must be discussed," stated Arkady Ghukasyan.
