The depositors of the bank “Armenia” which went bankrupt were gathered
opposite the Central Bank again this morning. This was by approximate
calculations their 250th meeting.

According to cheated depositor Qnarik Avetisyan, There are all in
all 140 depositors who have lost a total sum of only 140 thousand
USD. She is especially angry with the fact that the sum can be lost
by a state official in a casino in a single hour. She is also angry
with the latest announcement of the President of the Central Bank
that his income has raised as the income of the bank has raised,
and he has no money to give to the depositors.

What is interesting is that none of the depositors gathered opposite
the Central Bank speaks about the interests of the main sum they left
in the bank.

Astghik Baghdasaryan said nothing about her deposits but informed that
the bank “Armenia” had a property of about 4.5 million USD which was
sold for very low prices to high state officers.

The depositors told the journalists present that in February 2003
the President of the Central Bank received them and advised them
to make an announcement in the newspaper in order to find all the
cheated depositors. The did so, and several months passed, but upon
receiving them again the CB President said that he has no money for
compensation. Before that, nevertheless, he assured that if the total
sum becomes known, and the depositors agree to the phase-by-phase
compensation, he will allot 30-35 thousand USD for the first phase
of compensation.

building were the residents of the realization zones again. The demand
was the same – fair compensation for the confiscated houses, as well

that a week ago the representatives of the police beat several owners
of the Dalma gardens who tried to protect their property.

DIRECTLY TO FORENSIC DOCTOR TO BE AUTOPSIED AFTER DEATH

The order of the Minister of Health Norayr Davidyan, according to which
those who died at home must as well be taken to forensic autopsy,
has created a great stir. During the latest four-day sessions of
the NA Deputy Vram Gyulzadyan even announced that the above decision
gives forensic doctors an opportunity to extort money from “socially
people in need,” and later demanded “That order must be hampered from
being realized.”

To note, before this the autopsy of those who died at home was carried
out by local pathologoanatomists. And the above mentioned order passed
by the Minister is explained by saying that sometimes murders occur
in those very distant villages, or even small towns which remain not
only undisclosed but also obscure. Whereas, in case of compulsory
autopsy by a forensic doctor the real cause of death can be revealed.

At any rate, according to the information of Minister N. Davidyan,
up to no win 18 out of 78 cases of home deaths in Yerevan city murders
have been disclosed by means of compulsory autopsy.

Although Deputy Vram Gyulzadyan is concerned with the fact that
forensic doctors would get great amounts of money from forensic
autopsies, deputy Minister of Health Hayk Darbinyan informed us that
the autopsies are to be carried out free of charge irrespective of the
social layer the family belongs to. But are the doctors controlled
during their work? Is there a doctor who will reject the financial
“gratitude” of the relatives of the dead? Or is there a citizen who
will complain against the doctor in the state of mourning for his/her
dead relative?
