Deputy Prime Minister`s Office: State property at 30/1 Hanrapetutyan  Street was alienated according to the law

ArmInfo. State property at 30/1 Hanrapetutyan Street was alienated ccording to the law.

This is stated in the explanations of the staff of the Deputy Prime  Minister of Armenia Tigran Avinyan in connection with yesterday's  statement of former RA Ambassador to the Vatican Mikayel Minasyan.   Yesterday, the RA  third President's son-in-law, former Armenian  ambassador to the Vatican Mikayel Minasyan, accused Tigran Avinyan of  a corruption deal. In particular, he noted that the Deputy Prime  Minister, using his official position, sold state property for 87  million drams, while it was estimated at 871 million drams.

"By the direct order of Tigran Avinyan, the territory of the former  police patrol service, which was estimated by Nikol Pashinyan's  government at more than 871 million drams, was sold to his friend on  the basis of Avinyan's letter for an amount 10 times less, that is,  for 87 million drams,"  Minasyan said.  According to him, "they  earned about two million dollars for one deal." At the same time,  Minasyan also presented a document.

Meanwhile, as noted in the explanations of the Deputy Prime  Minister's Office, on the basis of a government decision adopted in  March 2018, this territory was recognized as an exceptional public  interest, and not on the basis of a letter from Deputy Prime Minister  Tigran Avinyan. The alienation was carried out in accordance with the  RA legislation, and not through the so-called direct auction. The  price of the alienation agreement was determined based on the  cadastral value of the land plot. The acquirer of the property, who  is not a friend of the Deputy Prime Minister, was also determined on  the basis of a decision of the Cabinet of Ministers in 2018. The  clarifications also recall that the court proceedings on the  alienation of real estate located at 30/1 Hanrapetutyan Street began  in 2008, but the alienation process was not carried out. "As for the  price of alienation of real estate, the difference in price indicated  in yesterday's publication is solely due to the difference between  the market value of land and the cadastral value in 2018," the  explanation says.

It should be noted that in the future investors in this area will  actually return to the community about 65% of the acquired area (30%  of the road, 35% of the communal areas).
