ArmInfo. There are certain dogmas in capitalism, one of which is the inviolability of property rights. Haykaz Fanyan, the head of the ACSES Analytical Center, emphasized this on a social media platform, pointing out the potential challenges that Armenia could face if it decides to nationalize CJSC.
"About renationalization There are dogmas in capitalism, one of which is the inviolability of property rights. When it comes to nationalization, or more accurately, renationalization, especially when forced and possibly without compensation, this will inevitably have a negative impact on the country's investment attractiveness. Such precedents are extremely dangerous (for example, Venezuela, Bolivia).
I am not an expert in international investment law, but in the case of the ESA, some intermediary companies are registered in Cyprus. We have an agreement with Cyprus on the promotion and protection of investments, which may allow Cyprus resident companies to apply to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes with all the negative consequences that entails. The Republic of Armenia is involuntarily faced with unjustified risks," Haykaz Fanyan noted.
