YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, NOYAN TAPAN. The Council of Businessmen under the RA Prime Minister discussed the facts of corruption provided by the US embassy and came to the conclusion that these facts do not correspond to reality, Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margarian stated at the September 13 briefing. According to the US embassy, these documents were received from the company Global Gold Mining that was recently deprived of its licence to explore the Marjan mine in Sisian. A. Margarian said that the documents of the US embassy do not contain a proof that the RA Nature Protection Minister Vardan Aivazian took a bribe. He noted that Global Gold Mining complains that the government violates the company's rights. However, in the words of A. Margarian, it is one of those usual disputes between an economic entity and the government that should be settled in court. A. Margarian added that he has been advising Global Gold Mining to apply to court for six months.
