YEREVAN, November 17. /ARKA/. Six Armenian banks operating in the 90’s are still in the process of liquidation, Finance Minister Vache Gabrielian said yesterday at a Q&A parliament session.

Of all the banks that have opted for liquidation, currently in the process of liquidation are Ardshinbank, Lendbank, Credit-Yerevan Bank, United Bank, Bank of Armenia and Armaviabank, according to the minister.

He said the bank legislation has been radically revised. He also stressed that since the early 2000s Armenia has not seen a bank problem, but also introduced a deposit guarantee system.

“Now, in terms of stability the banks have no problems,” Gabrielian said.
