OLIGARCHS MAY BUY NATIONAL PARKS

It is not excluded that the Armenian oligarchs
privatize Sevan and Dilijan national parts. `In fact,
the new law does not prohibit that. At the moment, the
parks are managed by non commercial state
enterprises,’ Simon Papyan, first deputy minister of
nature protection told reporters.

In the words of the deputy minister, 50 percent of the
credit program of this year in the amount of $800,000
will be directed to these parks to implement reforms.
The state will release another 156 million Armenian
drams to Sevan national park and 75 million to Dilijan
national park for protection purposes.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
