PART IV: VAN KRIKORIAN TARRED AND FEATHERED ME !

Skype Me™!


Why did a "reputable" lawyer and a prominent leader of the American Armenian community through his work with the Armenian Assembly of America, authorize the filing of a bogus criminal complaint against me in Armenia, when I was President and CEO of Caldera Resources?

This "bogus" criminal complaint was nothing more the a scheme to force me to walk away from a business venture in Armenia, to gain an advantage for Global Gold in a civil litigation and to scare me off and attempt to humiliate me by executing a "TAR-AND-FEATHER" campaign.

Mr. Krikorian then proudly declared in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings of  Global Gold Corporation (GBGD):

"[C]aldera officials are currently under criminal investigation..."
10-Q Global Gold Corporation Filed August 22, 2011 for the period ending June 30, 2011
10-Q Global Gold Corporation Filed May 20, 2011 for the period ending March 31, 2011
10-K Global Gold Corporation Filed April 14, 2011 for the Year ending December 31, 2010



"[I]n October 2010, two Caldera officials came under criminal investigation in Armenia for fraud..."
10-Q Global Gold Corporation Filed November 11, 2011 for the period ending September 30, 2011

What Mr. Krikorian failed to ever mention in his certified SEC filings, probably to avoid self incrimination for attempted extortion, that it was Global Gold Corp. (GBGD) that authorized the filing of the criminal complaint.

On August 24, 2011, the Liutenant-Colonel Mr. Ed. A. HAakobyan, Deputy Chief of the Division 1, Department of Investigation of Especially Important Cases of GID of the RA Police in his investigation of the claims made by Van Z. Krikorian's agents is Armenia to be baseless.


"[a]s stated in the applications and testimonies of A. Poghosyan and H. Ghukasyan, no property damage has been caused to the state, any physical person or legal entity, the dispute and relations between “Global Gold Mining” and “Caldera Resources Inc.” derive from the agreement executed by them and are of a civil nature."
AUGUST 24, 2011


This was nothing more then a proverbial TAR-AND-FEATHER attack. I believe the actions of Van Krikorian are unethical and illegal. 


Please VOTE in our POLL if you think the actions of 
Mr. Van Z. Krikorian are UNETHICAL.


(1) Even after the prosecution was dropped by the Armenia Police and the Prosecutor's Office, Mr. Krikorian made false statements in his SEC filling stating:
"[I]n October 2010, two Caldera officials came under criminal investigation in Armenia for fraud, ... [B]ased, in part, on a misunderstanding of the June 2010 TSX Venture Exchange approval letter and Caldera’s misrepresentations that payments due to Global Gold were being held in escrow, the criminal investigation of two Caldera officials was declined by prosecutors and the first instance judicial review in Armenia.  In accordance with Armenian law, those decisions are now pending further judicial review."  
Only in the twisted logic and made up facts created by Mr. Van Krikorian does the dropping of Criminal investigation is just a "first instance judicial review". 


(2) When the case was dropped by the Police Investigator and the Prosecutor, usually the saga would be over.  Not for Mr. Van Krikorian, he authorized Global Gold to appeal the decision, but was denied.

(3) Ok then, it should be over now. No it wasn't.  Mr. Van Krikorian authorized his agents in Armenia to start a brand new legal challenge and sued the Police Investigator and the Prosecutor for failing to do their job.


Global Gold lost the case against the Police and the Prosecutor. You figure it would be over now. No it was not.


(4) Mr. Van Krikorian then authorized his agent's in Armenia to appeal to the Criminal Court of Appeal and pursue the Police Investigator and the Prosecutor furhter. Mr. Krikorian lost that appeal too.  You think it would be over now? Not for Mr. Van Krikorian.


(5) Mr. Van Krikorian then authorized his agents to file an appeal to the highest criminal court in the land, the Criminal Division of the Cassation Court. They lost the appeal there too. Now it is over. The last ruling against them was in early 2012.


There was not first instance, this was a new legal challenge. It was a filing of a bogus criminal complaint that was thrown out. Global Gold continued filing new lawsuits against the Police Investigator and the Prosecutor in an attempt to restart the criminal investigation and file formal charges against me. The Police and the Prosecutor both said their was no crime and the dispute was of a civil nature. But Van Krikorian wanted to see me in Jail and sued government officials to get his way. Thank GOD for little miracles. He failed.

(6) Do you think this would be over now!  No!  Mr. Van Z. Krikorian then tried to file a new criminal complaint with the Police in Armenia in April 2012, using the Arbitrators Ruling of March 29, 2012 as evidence of fraud.  This claim was thrown out.....Now its over.


Mr. Van Z. Krikorian, a member of the Bar of New York, a leader of the Armenian Community, Chairman, CEO, Director and Corporate Counsel for Global Gold Corporation, a publicly traded company on  the OTC/PinkSheets with trading symbol GBGD, tried to put me in jail a total of 6 times.

Local Villagers at MELIQ, OPPOSE Global Gold Corp's gold mining project in Armenia

The TOUKHAMNUK GOLD MINE License is coming up for renewal on February 28, 2015 and Global Gold Corp (OTCmarkets:GBGD) may lose the license. Frankly they should lose the license since they have failed to meet their contractual obligations under the terms of their mining contract. GBGD, has failed to mine 153,000 tones of ore through open pit operations and 1,095,250 tones od ore through underground mining operations. In fact, according to Government of Armenia RECORDS, GBGD only mined 86,400 tones of ore from open pit operations at the Toukhmanuk gold mine between 2006 - 2012. Nowhere near the 1,259,400 tones of ore required to be mined under the terms of the mining license issued in 2006. Even the local community opposes GBGD's subsidiary, Mego-Gold, to build a third tailings dam in the area to support future plans to operate the mine exclusively as an open pit operation. They failed to follow the terms of the first mining contract and now they want to be rewarded with

GAME OVER: Van Krikorian and Global Gold Corp.

It's time to say goodbye to Global Gold Corp  (pink: GBGD) and its sketchy President,  Van Krikorian . After years of defrauding employees and suppliers in the Republic of Armenia out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, swindling joint venture partners out of over US$12MM, and partially embezzling and money laundering these proceeds, its time to say goodbye to Global Gold Corp (pink: GBGD) and its President, CEO, Chairman, Director and Corporate Counsel,  Van Krikorian . On December 4, 2017, GBGD through the fraudulent actions of its President, Mr. Van Krikorian  along with the complicit support of its Board of Directors, transferred all of GBGD's assets and claims to its officers and directors, consolidated its shares 251:1, ceased becoming a reporting issuer, and went dark, leaving behind US$20,917,023 in liabilities, broken promises. dreams and a trail of fraud. I am sure that this tale is not over.  With the assets of GBGD in the hands of Van Krikorian and

Van Krikorian's TOUKHMANUK Gold Project is BANKRUPT

While visiting the PDAC, the international mining convention in Toronto, I met representatives of the Armenian Government at the Lydian booth. It was confirmed to me that Global Gold's project in Armenia is BANKRUPT. I have always said that the 2 million ounce GOLD resource that Van Krikorian was promoting at TOUKHMANUK was a complete fraud. Global Gold Corp is now defunct and delinquent and no longer files any financial statements. Don't be fooled by the $3.00 price quote, GBGD has rolled-back its shares 251x and now has approximately 386,000 shares outstanding. The company has transferred all its assets to its officers and directors and left $20 million in debts behind. Now its flagship asset is bankrupt, leaving behind unpaid salaries and unpaid bills in Armenia.
