This year in July, at the RA Government meeting, the Minister of Finance Vache Gabrielyan announced in his speech about 9 billion extra-budgetary funds, noting that the money was received from bank deposits of the budget organizations.
In the conversation with “1in.am News and Analyses” NA MP Hrant Bagratyan said that it became clear from there that some ministries, particularly the Ministry of Defense, which is always complaining and crying that he has no money, made regular deposits in banks at the cost of state funds.
“This is unacceptable and shameful, it is criminal. And the government not only knows about this criminal, but also encourages. The free resources of the state are given to the central bank as credit resources, not for the ministries to put deposits and receive money.
For example, due to Vache Gabrielyan in January the Ministry will receive a two-month funding all in one, provided that will not receive funding until December, and put half of that amount as a deposit and receive up to 12%.
Years ago for the same Ministry of Defense that sum of money amounted to several billions, and the DM was free to dispose those several billions. Now they confess it themselves. This is definitely a criminal. Moreover, at the time the head of the Defense Ministry was the President, “said H. Bagratyan adding that they will surely make the appropriate inquiries.
“Day by day we are getting convinced that we should get rid of these people as soon as possible. In fact, we do not deal only with evident criminal, theft, robbery, but they do not understand that there is no intellect. It is not a coincidence that for the progress they make new insurance scheme for the care, car, life, health, in order to show at least 3-4% of growth. ”
Moreover, the Ministry of Defense had deposits of state funds for already many years, which is a crime.
H. Bagratyan recalled that President Robert Kocharyan once said that when he became Prime Minister, he called on the Minister of Finance and learned that there was not a cent in the budget. “The man has become a prime minister, and then has become a president, without realizing that the ideal budget should have 0 penny, because if money comes, then it should be spent. This type of disorder cannot let the country develop. ”
