    NKR PRESIDENT: WE CANNOT CONTROL ACTIVITIES OF ARMENIA FOUNDATION

    In the online interview with the Azat Artsakh Newspaper President
    Arkady Ghukasyan was asked about the reconstruction of the region
    of Martakert. "Unfortunately, not everything depends on the NKR
    government in this sphere. Yes, we take active part in organizing
    telethons. Believe me, what you see on TV, namely the telethon, how
    the NKR president calls our compatriots for active participation in
    this campaign is only the final step in the colossal work we annually
    carry out with the Diaspora. This is preceded by tens of meetings
    with thousands of participants and daily trips.

    As to donations of our compatriots abroad, these are transferred
    directly to the account of Armenia Foundation. The fund orders
    projects, holds tenders, chooses the winners, and accounts for the
    final results. As to the mechanisms of control of the government,
    they are indirect - the government may approve or disapprove the road
    or building built or repaired. Recently we have applied to Armenia
    Foundation for a number of times demanding to control the schedule
    and quality of work, and informed the executives and the board of
    trustees of the foundation about the drawbacks. So, we do whatever
    depends on us to spend the money effectively."

    As soon as the interview appeared on the web site, Armenia Foundation
    made a statement on its activities.
