Одиссея армянки из диаспоры: “Возвращайся домой”, чтобы здесь тебя обманули

Каролин Багумян – армянка из США. Она давно мечтала обосноваться в Армении. В 2004 г. Каролин через интернет арендовала квартиру и приехала в Ереван. Ключ ей передала присматривавшая за домом Нунуфар Ованнисян. Она сообщила, что занимается строительством, имеет серьезные связи и может помочь Каролин осуществить ее мечту о постоянном проживании в Армении.

“Мы договорились с Нунуфар Ованнисян о том, что она на мои деньги приобретет земельный участок и построит особняк. Я передала ей доверенность на осуществление необходимых операций от моего имени. Посредством банковских перечислений и наличными я передала Нунуфар в общей сложности 539 тысяч долларов США (все документы имеются, да и она не отрицает, что получила такую сумму)”,- рассказывает Каролин Багумян.  

В 2005 г. занимающаяся “строительством” Нунуфар Ованнисян за 45 тыс. долларов приобрела земельный участок площадью 550 кв.м по адресу 13-я улица, 80/1 в административном районе Норк (позже выяснилось, что реальная стоимость участка 38 тыс. долларов. – авт.) и приступила к строительству особняка. На протяжении нескольких лет она требовала от Каролин деньги на то, чтобы достроить дом, но строительство так и не было завершено. Согласно справке начальника управления по градостроительству и земле мэрии Еревана, в результате изучения совершенного строительства были выявлены отклонения от проекта. Сам дом, согласно произведенной в декабре 2010 г. оценке, стоит 114 млн драмов, то есть на его строительство было потрачено на 200 тысяч долларов меньше, чем Каролин заплатила Нунуфар Ованнисян. Выяснив все это, Каролин Багумян решила прекратить с ней “сотрудничество”. Однако “бизнес-вуман” заявила, что Каролин не доплатила ей за проделанную работу, и, обратившись в суд, потребовала взыскать в свою пользу 40 тысяч долларов плюс проценты от штрафов и пени. В итоге армянка из США оказалась затянутой в паутину армянской судебной системы. Говорят, чтобы узнать реальную Армению, нужно один раз соприкоснуться с ее судебной системой.  

“Я спрашиваю ее: почему ты требуешь от меня 45 тысяч долларов, может, я тебе должна 60 тысяч? 2,5 года я прошу показать хотя бы один документ, один чек, которые подтвердили бы указываемые ею расходы. Но для судей это не имеет значения”,- говорит Каролин и, забегая вперед, отмечает: “Единственным справедливым судьей, с которой я столкнулась, оказалась Нарине Барсегян из Апелляционного суда. Она дала Нунуфар неделю, но та так и не явилась и никаких фактов не представила. И дело вновь направили в суд первой инстанции”.   

Особенно примечательным было поведение судьи суда первой инстанции административных районов Кентрон и Норк-Мараш Эдика Аветисяна. Адвокат Нунфар Ованнисян представил суду ходатайство о заключении сторонами мирового соглашения, в котором подчеркивалось, что Каролин должна Н.Ованнисян 40 тысяч долларов. 

“В суде Эдик Аветисян спросил меня, признаю ли я этот факт. Существует протокол суда, согласно которому я 5 раз отвечаю: нет, нет... Но судья фиксирует, что я согласна, при этом он не прилагает к своему решению мировое соглашение (что обязан был сделать по закону) и вместо меня решает, что я согласна на заключение мировой”,- говорит Каролин Багумян. Ничего не изменило и рассмотрение дела в Апелляционном и Кассационному судах.  

Недостроенный особняк пока не зарегистрирован, а земельный участок записан на имя Каролин. Однако по требованию Нунуфар Ованнисян на него наложен арест, и вполне возможно, что он очень скоро будет продан посредством аукциона за 40 тысяч долларов с целью “возвращения” процентов “потерпевшей” Ованнисян. 

И это в том случае, когда выяснилось, что Нунуфар Ованнисян не имеет лицензии на строительную деятельность, она не вела бухгалтерию и вообще не заключала с кем-либо соответствующие договоры. 

За это время стал также известен секрет “всесильности” Нунуфар Ованнисян и “беспристрастности” судей. Оказывается, Ованнисян – двоюродная сестра по отцовской линии судьи Гаяне Караханян.   

Адвокат Каролин Геворк Чакмишян сообщил, что строительные работы сами по себе являются сделкой, и если сделка со строителями совершается без заключения договора, то она считается недействительной.

“Фактически Каролин дала сумму, на которую Ованнисян совершила недействительную сделку. Тогда будьте добры вернуть деньги, а если они были вложены в дом, то отдайте дом,- говорит адвокат. – На этом основании мы обратились в суд. Сперва судья суда общей юрисдикции административного района Кентрон Алексей Сукоян, а затем и судьи вышестоящих инстанций говорили: есть доверенность, и этого достаточно, чтобы мы не учитывали, обоснованна следующая сделка или нет. С юридической точки зрения это ошибка детсадовского уровня, которая допускается умышленно. Судьи, ничего не боясь, открыто нарушают закон”.

По словам адвоката, для проверки оснований совершения мошенничества и хищений они обратились в Службу национальной безопасности и полицию. СНБ не отреагировала, а полиция начала расследование, но уголовное дело так и не было возбуждено.

“В данном случае мы имеем дело со злостным уклонением от налогов, пошлин, занятием незаконной предпринимательской деятельностью. Мы также обратились к председателю Комитета госдоходов и генпрокурору, дело было поручено следователю КГД. Уже 6-7 месяцев ведется следствие, однако никакого решения пока нет,- продолжает Геворк Чакмишян. – Кроме того, в случае работы без лицензии закон предусматривает штраф в размере половины стоимости проделанных работ. В подобных ситуациях налоговая инспекция может оштрафовать любого человека даже из-за 10 тысяч драмов. А тут речь идет примерно о 250 тыс.долларов, но ничего не делается. У нас есть сведения о том, что судья Гаяне Караханян обратилась к следователям с многочисленными ходатайствами”.

Каролин Багумян обратилась и к министрам диаспоры и юстиции, но и это не помогло. А из администрации президента ответили, что передали заявление в Генпрокуратуру.

“После этого сотрудники полиции отправились домой к Нунуфар Ованнисян, чтобы забрать ее, но вновь вмешалась Гаяне Караханян, и дело закрыли”,- говорит Каролин Багумян.

А в адресованном Сержу Саргсяну письме она написала: “Не хочу удостоиться участи тех зарубежных армян, которые, столкнувшись здесь с мошенниками, понесли потери и покинули родину, не желая больше слышать о ней...”.

Basically 4 years has past fro this article and Carolin is still fighting. She and her daughter lived through a kidnapping and theft by a police officer who's trial is still going on but he will hopefully be sentenced for +15 years. Carolin is still fighting to get the truth out and she won a Նախադեբ case at the vjrabek level and is still going through the courts to finalize her win.
Carolin Baghoomian
NEW UPDATE ON OUR CASE: Basically we have learned that at the higher cessation vjrabek court, the higher ranking judges, who we don't know the names of, have been bribed from day one with, get this: $150,000!!!!! This is why with kilograms and pounds of proof & evidence I have not been able to win except for once which Narine Barserghyan, had ruled in my favor!!!! This is why people like me and Mr. Jack M. Saroyan, have not been successful to bring forward our truthful rights and get our voices heard!!! So I have written another open letter to the President of Armenia. Lets see how far these bribes will go. As we hear judges are in the process of changing. Then what will happen to the hefty bribe of $150,000 that NUNUFAR HOVHANISSYAN has paid(from the money I have given to her) to the head vjrabek judges through her cousin judge GAYANEH KARAKHANYAN, who will be retiring soon and receiving a hefty retirement monthly through the government paid by the people to cheat the people direct at their faces!!! What more can Turkey ask and pray for but a corrupt Armenia who will betray once again when need be!!!!!
Jack M. Saroyan
Carolin's situation is tragic, but not exceptional. I am also the victim of a corrupt justice system that resulted in giving up a condo that I had invested in and completed a kitchen and one and one-half bathrooms. It all started with a fraudulent contract that the court would not recognize because it was in English. Later, They would not even recognize a bonafide translation that was written in Armenian. All because of bribes to the judges. After having a successful decision by the lower court judges, the defendant would bribe the appeals court and the higher court to reverse the judgement in his favor. This happened repeatedly. Finally, I was advised to give my condo back and get my money back. I am still waiting for all the money that the court ordered to be returned. Diasporan Armenians have learned that Soviet corruption is still alive and thriving in Armenia.
Carolin Baghoomian
Just an update....Today's court hearing began without Nunufar Hovhanissyan's lawyer being present. He arrived about 30 minutes late. When asked to present his clients proofs of expenses, he presented other papers that were not even close to expense proofs!!! So as of today presenting proofs is over. Next date there will be questions back and forth and lets see what happens. Oh and her lawyer opted to buy my house!!! I told him your client did not give me my house's deed( vagayagan), so therefore I can not sell it to you and he said it is ok!!!! I guess he will bribe someone to get it later!!!! The corrupt continues!!!!
Carolin Baghoomian
Just an update....The last court hearing Nunufar Hovhanissyan of course did not come but sent a new lawyer so the hearing got delayed for another 2 weeks!!! She has had 3 lawyers until now!!! Until now there has been no proofs from her side about what in the world she did with the money!!! Lets see what happens in two weeks....!?!?!?!
Carolin Baghoomian
HI Victor, I have to say that Hetq did their research. They questioned me a few times during a 2 week period. They did get Nunufar's number & documents from me as well. IF they were yellow journalists then your comment would not have been posted. Also as you can see everyone has a right to post and still no signs of Nunufar, Gayaneh, Sukoyan, Ed Avedissyan and the rest!!! Also I think Herand is wrong since no way I would do this in any other country. I trusted Armenia since it is after all my Motherland!!! So as I trust my Mother I should trust my Land!!! It is sad that Armenia is the size of the county I lived in California yet we can not regulate & govern it with an open face and strict decipline!!! The core of the matter is the court system of Armenia!! I have posted a question to everyone that instead of putting each other down lets brainstorm and see how we can get the court system to have a monitoring body watching over them!!!!???? Alo thanks VArtan I absolutely agree with you!!!! Armenia has to leave the Soviet mentality behind to get ahead!!!

HI everyone, Thank you for your continued comments, especially for Madlene, Loosineh, Tina, Aram, Vahe, Anna and all the other positive comments! Yes I was wrong to trust a woman in her sixties (the same age as my Mom), unmarried and with no kids. But so what are we going to do about this court system!!! We can write all we want both positive and negatives. Do you think we embarrassed Judges Gayaneh Karakhanyan, Sukoyan, Avedissyan, Apenyan, Vjrabek judges, or even their puppet, Nunufar Hovhanissyan with this article and our comments!!!??!?!??! Do you think they are in hiding or embarrassed to be seen around Kentron!?!? Do you think they are shameful facing fedahe's and soldiers who died or got wounded so that we can prosper and work together to keep what is ours (this little sectionof land) and gain what was ours but lost because of traitors amongst us!!!??? What is the next step we need to take so that we don't loss another diasporan with the same dreams I had!? Lets come up with suggests on how we, the people, can make the changes we want to see, since if we leave it up to these khasharaker officials they will send us to this department then that and at the end we will loss everything and even hope....Instead of putting each other down lets make this comment section productive. I LOVE ARMENIA FOREVER & INFINITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, this is a sad story about simple-mindedness, greed, lack of law in the young country... Yet the saddest part are some comments posted - from morons like 'levik', 'dodo' etc. - hard to say what made me sicker - reading the article or the comments.
Aram
Yes Carolin, many of us expatriates have had and still do have disappointments in our hayrenik. Life is not easy here not only for us but particularly for the natives. However, keep smiling and may your smile be contagious
Berge Jololian
My heart felt regrets to Caroline. Why is the perception of Diaspora Armenians and in particular those in the US, think that doing business in Armenia or anywhere else in the world any different than conducting business say in the US? Would you trust and hand in money blindly to anyone in the US? Ofcourse not! People are people everywhere. If you give me a chance, I might be tempted as well. Americans say, good fences make good neighbors! It is no different in Armenia or anywhere else in the world. I also understand that diaspora Armenians grow up to learn to trust each other - and that is wonderful - we always rejoice to meet another Armenian - but, please, don't be naiive! Just becuase we are Armenians does not mean we are immune from all the human temptations. Hire a lawyer, conduct business in Armenia like you would anywhere else in the World. Best Wishes!

Hi guys, I am a diaspora armenian from Cyprus and I wish one day to live in Armenia. What is happening today in Armenia happened in Cyprus and Greece in the 80s and 90s. Diasporan Cypriots returning from the UK were being ripped off while in Greece the synonim to naievity is amerikanaki. I am sorry to say that this is the 'natural' course developing countries go through. The problem is in the system and it takes time to clean it out.
Madlene Minassian
Carolin Jan, I have lost contact with you. Please find me on facebook (Madlene Minassian) I would love to reconnect. I am so sad to read this. I remember the passion and love and dreams that went with this house and your LOVE for this country. How can we reconnect?
Levik
I am simply dumbfounded that this poor Baghoumian was naive enough to hand over her power of attorney to this leech Nunufar. Handing over more than $500 K to someone from Armenia without an army of attorneys is tantamount to financial suicide. My heart goes out to Caroline but.....
Loosineh
Dear Tina Minassian well, the ones I know are in Avan, i guess. If I am not mistaken (i don't remember exactly). I hadn't heard about Soseh and Ararat towers but there you go! another case!
Carolin Baghoomian
HI everyone, Thank you for all your comments. My dream was to live in my country. The one that my ancestors lived and breathed in. Well at least the one that still existed under our name. I have not lost hope. I love this country. It needs a lot,a lot of work. We have to help each other. Nunufar H. told me I would never smile again and I would never enjoy this house. I guess she knew she would gift her belongings(apartment and lands) to her realtives and then go to court against me where Gayaneh K. would help her breeze through winning without proofs and evidence! She has never appeared in court. ONly her lawyers and she does have 2 of them! Even Kima, Gayane's sister, told us that Gayane stopped the police from taking Nunufar! It is amazing that a judge has more power than the President's order of a criminal investigation!!It is hard to trust anyone now, since after 2 lawyers who worked both ways, the police investigation taking orders froma judge( probably also bribes), no written response from vetzerort bajen, anvdangutun, artaradatutun's nagharar, and the worst part is going back to the President's office, and Ms. Aida Asaduryan, the head person there, can only tell me that the President has no power over the courts. That is the main excuse I heard everywhere. Courts are not monitored and no one has control over the courts! Diasporan minister Ms. Hagopyan said why didn't you come to me when you got here. I said that was back in 2004 and you have only existed since October 2008!!! She said she knows Edik Avedissyan the judge who is also a kavartzeh adn she will speak to him! Is that how business is conducted in Armenia!?! I have yet to see a serious body of government in this country. I will not put a stop to my life and wait for Armenia to heal. So meanwhile I have laid my own tiles, made my own walls out of duff and beautiful basalt rocks just laying around all over the property. I have installed toilets and sinks and this experience has shown me that I can do just about everything I put my mind to. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I am raising chickens, turkeys, and rabbits. My daughter is enjoying life in Nork Marash. I will fulfill my dream of starting a business and employing 501 people. I will not trust anyone in this country except one person who really saved me with his expertise. That person is Mr. Gevork Chakmishian, my lawyer. You are welcome to ask me any question since I think people learn from other people's experiences, mistakes and misfortunes. So if you are thinking of living in your country, Armenia, and stopping the White genocide that continues after 1915 Genocide Massacre, please feel free to ask the most simpliest or complex questions. I took a risk and with that risk I gained priceless experience met the nicest people in the world!! :) I am still smiling!!

Hi Loosineh, Are you referring to the Soseh 28/1 & 28/2 Ararat Towers buildings in Arabkir????!!! I have heard horror stories about them!!!
Herand
I think this lady is stupid ------- If she was not cheated in Armenia she would have been cheated in the U.S ------ So between these two possibilities maybe it was better that the money was stolen in Armenia ------- There are so many knowledgeable builders in Yerevan from the diaspora --- Berfore handing over $539,000 some research and investigation is required !!!

This is ironic. I think the Prezident have to read this article before inviting Armenians to invest in their homeland. Monday, July 30, 2012 Sarkisian Wants More Citizens, Investment From Armenian Diaspora Armenia - President Serzh Sarkisian addresses the Armenian community in London, 29Jul2007. 30.07.2012 President Serzh Sarkisian urged ethnic Armenians around the world at the weekend to become citizens of Armenia and invest in its economy in large numbers, saying that would greatly contribute to `the power and prosperity of the motherland.' Sarkisian made the appeal as he addressed several dozen Diaspora Armenians in London after attending the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games. `Your prominent professional, economic and human abilities have already made you the participants of the great Armenian march. However today you have a new opportunity - dual citizenship,' he told a reception organized by the Armenian community in Britain. `I don't know how many of you in this hall hold a dual citizenship. I urge you to become citizens of the Republic of Armenia too and directly participate in all processes of the motherland building,' he said. Armenia allowed dual citizenship as part of a package of constitutional amendments enacted in late 2005. This was supposed to strengthen the country's links with several million Diaspora Armenians scattered around the world. Thousands of them have applied for Armenian citizenship since then. `I have said on many occasions and repeat it now: come to the motherland, invest in the motherland,' Sarkisian said in his speech. `Make your profit and at the same time build the country of our common dream. By creating jobs, you will help to prevent emigration which is a matter of concern for us all.' Greater Diaspora investments in the Armenian economy have been hampered by the country's flawed business environment. Like other potential foreign investors, many Diaspora Armenians have been scared away by government corruption and other serious problems with the rule of law. Sarkisian and his government have pledged to step up their efforts to improve the domestic investment climate. `We are ready to create opportunities for investments; we create mechanisms so that Armenians from the Diaspora can make a profitable business in Armenia,' the president said in London. `Our task is to move from charity to a mutually beneficial partnership.'

Hi Mike, Yes exactly!!! The diasporans come here feeling this is THEIR LAND, THEIR PEOPLE, and we are all related in a way. BUt should we repeat the 1915 genocide and stab each other on the back!!! Look what happened to Kirk Krikorian!!! He brought all his millions here! Why because he is Armenian. Should we let the white genocide continue in its horific way!?! Or should we help each other move back and keep our culture and people. IT is the diasporan Armenians that got the country on its foot again. The government has to understand it is the diasporans that will keep this country going. SO they better make it work for them so they can do their good deeds and everyone benefits. WHY CAN'T ARMENIANS WORK TOGETHER LIKE THE JEWS!!! LETS WATCH AND LEARN FROM THEM(JEWS)!!!! IF ONLY 10% WE WOULD GAIN SO MUCH!!!!

People are missing the point of the story. Sure there are hustlers and cheats like Nunufar in every country ready to pounce and prey on simpleminded people like Caroline. But the sad part is that Armenia's corrupt judicial system backs up the Nunufar's and others, either due to familial ties or because they get kickbacks, whatever. Yes, the system stinks but the system endures because everyone from top to bottom benefits to varying degrees. Finding an honest judge or lawyer in Armenia is as hard as finding a virgin in Las Vegas...
Gagik Melikyan
I am wondering if Caroline has left her brains at home before flying over to Armenia. Giving a power of attorney to someone she barely knows ... If you do the same in the United States, I can assure you that there will be people who would take advantage of you. It is not about Armenia, it is about the nature of human beings. While in Armenia, be as careful with your financial decisions, as you are here in the United States. Don't unjustifiably badmouth our Motherland!
Arziv
Armenia is not a sh..le. This woman Caroline would have been taken for a ride even in her own paradise of america ( a hot bed of high corruption) had she shown the kind of paradigmatic naivete. You don't hand power of attorneys to people you hardly know, and don't squander money on distant projects, unseen and unsighted, be they Hayes or God's servants. The woman got defrauded. Too bad. Don't blame the Armenians for it. The world is a cesspit of corruption,roguery, deceit, exploitation, thievery and skuldugggery. Why should things be any different in Armenia ? Those people who bad mouthed the motherland, better shut up if they don't live there. The country is better off without these paradigms of virtue and incorruptible values. If you live abroad, then what is your trouble lost brother ?

HI tsakoug, corruption from within is only eliminated by getting rid of all in the system. So all judges most go and start with a fresh plate that are voted in by the people. There has to be a body of government that looks over the judicial system and currently Armenia doesn't have that body. Artaradatutun si just a name left over from the Soviet years!!!
