    RA CB COUNCIL CLARIFIES THE SITUATION CONCERNING THE ACCUSATIONS OF
    LEVON MARCOS, THE EX-OWNER OF CREDIT-YEREVAN BANK

    YEREVAN, September 1. /ARKA/. The RA CB Council clarified the
    situation concerning the accusations of Levon Marcos, the ex-owner of
    the bankrupt Credit-Yerevan, Head of Sretenka Russian Concern. The
    statement of CBA Council published in local Haykakan Jamanak
    newspaper says that L.Marcos obtained the shares of Credit-Yerevan
    bank in June of 2001, i.e. long before the appointment of temporary
    administration in the bank caused by abrupt deterioration of the
    situation in the bank. According to CBA Council, L.Marcos followed
    not the patriotic motive while purchasing Credit-Yerevan bank. He
    made this step in order to obtain unlimited decision-making
    opportunities to develop activities on international market and to
    issue false bank guarantees for millions of US dollars on behalf of
    Credit-Yerevan bank. The article states that the National Interpol
    Bureau in Armenia possesses official documentation on various
    countries (Andorra, in particular) related to the false guarantees
    issued by Credit-Yerevan bank and signed by representatives of L.
    Marcos. "As a result, Credit-Yerevan lost its correspondent accounts
    in a number of foreign banks and our banking system faced a real
    threat of losing the opportunity to carry out operations with top
    banks of the world" says the article of CBA Council. Moreover, the
    international organizations fighting against money laundering could
    have formed a negative opinion about RA and give instructions to
    cease any financial operations with Armenia, as well as close the
    correspondent accounts in foreign banks.
    Levon Marcos failed to meet his engagements to RA Central Bank. At
    that, the article notes that Marcos did not consider it expedient to
    conduct negotiations on professional level. He did not take into
    account that he deals with state and state interests and not with
    "separate clans". " The CBA will consecutively follow its policy on
    introduction of rules of corporate management applied in
    international practice, which require personal responsibility on the
    part of every owner of the bank, not only moral, but financial as
    well", says the article.
    To mention, Levon Marcos, the ex-owner of the bankrupt
    Credit-Yerevan, Head of Sretenka Russian Concern published an open
    letter in Haykakan Jamanak newspaper. According to it, Marcos accused
    Tigran Sargsyan, the Head of RA Central Bank and Serge Sargsyan, RA
    Defense Minister of his failure in Armenia. According to the
    estimates of Marcos, the losses of both cheated citizens and foreign
    investors of Credit-Yerevan bank make $50 mln in total, of which $33
    mln are the assets of the bank and $17 mln. –investments made in the
    bank. L.V.–0--
