Avinyan Responds to Vahan Kerobyan
The Armenian National Interests Fund (ANIF) has set appropriate goals and has fulfilled them. This was stated by Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan at a press conference. Former Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan had previously claimed that there were significant errors and abuses in ANIF's operations when Tigran Avinyan was the chairman of the board.
“I get the feeling that various officials, after losing their positions for some x, y, z reasons, later become champions of justice, claiming they have always fought for fairness, while everyone else was corrupt and acted against the logic. I don't even want to enter into that debate,” Avinyan said.
He mentioned that he served as the chairman of ANIF and did not receive any remuneration, but the fund has brought large-scale projects to Armenia. Avinyan cited the collaboration with the Arab company
