Matthew Bryza – “We anticipate the NKR authorities will be formally included in the negotiations”
[December 29, 2008]
How would you evaluate the Moscow Declaration signed in Moscow on November 2 in terms of leading to an overall settlement of the Karabakh conflict?
Matthew Bryza -The Moscow Declaration makes an important contribution to the efforts of the Minsk Group and the parties to reach a just and balanced settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In particular, the Moscow Declaration underscores recognition by Presidents Aliyev and Sargsyan of the need for a political and therefore peaceful settlement of the conflict.

Who Is Going to Export Gold from the Lichkvaz and Terterasar Mines?
[December 29, 2008]
As of September of this year, Tamaya Resources put a stop to the project to extract gold from the Lichkvaz and Terterasar mines. According to a statement released by the company the primary reason for the project’s termination were financial problems. However, as one of our sources states the problems faced by Tamaya weren’t only financial. Our source, a former company employee who wishes to remain anonymous, notes that the company found itself in this position due to the “efforts” of local management. The insider claims that the local management team incurred more hefty expenses than had been planned for – the purchase of expensive jeeps, showing big salaries on the books but in reality paying less as well as costs for work junkets and other items.

Rid Yourselves of Those Bothersome Names
[December 29, 2008]
On June 6, 2005, the Jambarak branch of the Civil Status Acts Registry Agency (CSARA) duly registered the birth of Karineh Meliki Khachatryan. In May of 2008, Lusineh Mkhitaryan, who has headed the same CSARA branch office for eight years, handed Karineh Khachatryan a copy of her birth certificate. The only difference was that there was a different last name on the copy. It read Karineh Makaryan. Karineh, in essence, had been given another surname.

Readers Respond
[December 29, 2008]
Dear readers,
Last week “Hetq” published an article regarding the Armenian community in Sweden. Our reporter spent a week there and conducted interviews with various community leaders. Naturally, one cannot provide an exhaustive and detailed picture of the community and its inner workings based solely on information culled in a few days.
