State property as such has not been alienated to non-residents. Chairman of the State Property Management Committee of the Republic of Armenia (RA), Arnak Avetisyan, told this to reporters Wednesday—and referring to the remark that the residents of Aragatsotn Province are raising an alarm that Turks, who represent themselves as Arabs, are acquiring a large number of lands in the province—particularly in Ohanavan town and Aparan city.

And when asked how much property was acquired in Armenia by Arabs or Azerbaijanis and Turks, Avetisyan responded: "The question is not addressed to me if they are being obtained from the secondary market, from private individuals. I am aware that under the RA legislation, plots of land are not sold, [their] sale is prohibited to non-residents; that is, only RA citizens can have ownership to plots of land in Armenia. And there are no such cases, they are ruled out in terms of state property."
