YEREVAN, June 2. /ARKA/.  The Management Board of the Central Bank of Armenia (CBA) said today it has invalidated the license that was awarded to Nor Horizon universal credit organization.

According to the press service of the Central Bank, the license was invalidated due to a set of violations of the legislation regulating the activities of credit organizations committed by the organization.

The license had been awarded to the organization in 2006. Nor Horizon LLC was founded by Horizon Foundation, which owned 86% of its shares.
