http://aarhus.am/?page_id=8337&lang=en

 On December 22, 2014 The Armenian based environmental NGO, EcoRight, filed a request with the Ministry of Nature Protection of the Republic of Armenia to commence a criminal investigation against Mego-Gold (Global Gold subsidiary that operates the Toukhmanuk Gold Mine) for violating the laws of Armenia, and more specifically: 

* embezzlement of state property through fraud; 
* tax evasion through false entrepreneurship, hiding overpayments and other gained material benefits, which has caused major damage to the citizens of the Republic of Armenia; 
* Performing illegal commercial activities without a special permit (license) to carry out entrepreneurial activities subject to licensing; 
* violation of rules in implementing environmental safety activities; 
* features of crimes in violation of rules of mineral resources conservation and use. 

On January 16, 2015, The AArhus website (http://aarhus.am) published a confirmation letter dated December 26, 2014 issued by the Ministry of Nature Protection (Environment) confirming that "no inspections were conducted in the area of the (Toukhamnuk) mine, and thus no environmental impact assessment was made." 

The letter from the chief of staff of the Ministry of Nature protection goes on to say that the "Tukhmanuk mine violations (have been forwarded) to the law enforcement authorities for initiating criminal proceedings."

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.

PART II: The Bogus Criminal Complaint

As a Lawyer and Corporate Counsel for Global Gold, VAN KRIKORIAN knows very well what the difference between a civil and criminal matter is. Van Krikorian also knows that filing a criminal complaint to gain advantage in a civil complaint is not only unethical and a breach of his professional conduct as a member of the bar, in this case it is attempted extortion. What was the "BOGUS" Criminal Complaint? That I stole 100% of the Shares of Marjan Mining Company from Global Gold, a theft equivalent to $2.850,000.  Unbelievable! You enter into a transaction in New York. The resolutions are passed and all shares are transfered to the JV, and then he claims I stole 100% of the shares when I transfered them to the JV which I control 55% and Van Krikorian controls 45%. So how did I steal 100% of the shares? Below is the Copy of the translation and the official "DECISION TO INSTITUTION OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS" signed by deputy prosecutor Mr. A. Afandyan....
