"Hraparak" newspaper writes:
"Back in 2021, the Zangezur copper-molybdenum combine donated 25 percent of its shares to the RA government.
Later, he added another 6.8 percent to it. At that time, it seemed that it was the result of a political decision made with the Russian authorities, but when "MTS-Armenia" also donated 20 percent, it became clear that this state racketeering process " is turning into a "flash mob" and the RA government will not stop there, it will also "take away" shares from other companies.
Next, the process of taking a share from "Lydian Armenia" was announced. Rumors spread that they are trying to take a share from "Team Telecom" on the same principle, but the ceremony to receive a share from "Lydian" was unexpectedly postponed, although it was announced that on March 26, the Minister of Economy will accept that "gift" under solemn conditions.
And it hasn't happened yet. According to our information, these attempts of state racketeering were very badly perceived by the US authorities, and the US ambassador made it clear that a country that declared itself a democracy cannot force a private person to hand over a share to it, it contradicts the business and the free market. to universal ideas.
And Nikol Pashinyan had to give up the idea of continuing this vicious "flush-mob".
