About this Blog: Between 2009 and 2012 I was an active investor in the mineral exploration sector in the Republic of Armenia. Our main project in Armenia was the MARJAN polymetallic gold and silver project located in near Sissian. My JV partner, Mr. Van Z. Krikorian, President of Global Gold Corp (otcqb: GBGD) and Trustee of the Armenian Assembly of America, used corrupt means including using his influence with the US EMBASSY in YEREVAN to secure an indictment against me for theft of the JV and to corrupt the Armenia judicial system to give him a favourable ruling.
Mr. Van Z. Krikorian is the President, CEO and Legal Counsel of Global Gold Corp. (otcqb:GBGD), a penny stock listed on the OTC markets. His public filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission fail to fully disclose the reality on the ground in Armenia in the promotion and development of GBGD's gold project, the TOUKHMANUK GOLD MINE.
This blog is an effort to bring transparency of the activities of Global God Corp. (otcqb: GBGD) and Mr. Van Z. Krikorian in Armenia.
While the translation is a little rough, it should be clear from reading that GGC's subsidiary, GETIK LLC;
But why has Mr. Van Krikorian, Chairman, Director and Corporate Counsel for GBGD failed to file a form 8-K disclosing this material event to the PUBLIC?
According to SEC rules, a Form 8-K must be filed within 4 business days of knowledge of a material event. It is now 30 days since the issuance of this Ministerial Decree, terminating GBGD's exploration license on the GETIK project.
Investors and Joint Venture investors rely on GBGD's SEC disclosures. If all the material facts were disclosed in GBGD's SEC filings, as they should be by law, investors would see the RED flags and not rely as much on Mr. Van Krikorian's and GBGD's deceptive disclosures. If I knew 10% of what I discovered of the status of GBGD's crumbling investments in Armenia, I would have never entered in a deal with them on the Marjan project.
I urge the US SEC, PCAOB and the department of Justice, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) division to investigate GBGD, Mr. Van Krikorian and stop this serial fraudster from continuing to make willfully false and misleading statements and omitting material facts in his SEC filings to deceive his investors and using corruption and undue influence in Armenia to silence his detractors.

Unofficial Translation of Decree N 04-A - MENR
[SEAL]MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCESMINISTERIALDECREE22.01.2014 year N 04-A
On the application for extending permission deadlines provided to "Getik Mining Company" LLC in Getik River "Amrots" gold manifestation and "Aygut" copper manifestation of RA Gegharkunik Province, ore geological investigation 22.05.2012 year number Geological Exploration Permit– 29/034 (formerly No. 85) and Geological Exploration Permit -29/035 (formerly No. 86) .
Examining the "Getik Mining Company" LLC (hereinafter referred to as Company) provided for Getik River "Amrots" gold manifestation and "Aygut" copper manifestation of RA Gegharkunik Province, geological mineral exploration right dated on 22.05.2012 and Geological Exploration Permit– 29/034 (formerly No. 85) and Geological Exploration Permit- 29/035 (formerly No. 86) permit application 06.12.2013 - No G-28/128 of the company on 2 year renewal period of 22.05.2012 year number Geological Exploration Permit– 29/034 (formerly No 85) and Geological Exploration Permit -29/035 (former No 86) and comparing them with the requirements of contracts 06.11.2012 - No PV-034 and No PV-035 signed between the company and the authorized body, found that in accordance to the documents submitted by the company (33 pages) the Company did not implemented work plan scheduled activities for a part of activities in accordance with the above-mentioned contracts.
In particular, the Company did not make at all geophysical sampling and mapping activities and not implemented column drilling volumes approximately by 90 percent, which has already led to non fulfillment of contractual schedule failure: filing implementation of contractual obligations (proposed schedule). Therefore, there is a base according to Mining Code, 42 Article, 3 Point for not prolong validation permit period provided to mining company for geological investigation of subsoil mineral extraction, because the mining company requested an extension due to the breach of contractual duties.
In addition, by the application request for prolonging of Geological Exploration Permit -29/034 permission on investigation (Amrots area), refusal from separated non prospective site required by the legislation (not less than half of the allocated area) to do not comply with the law by refusing the space share (portion), which is also in accordance with the Mining Code, Article 42 § 4, is a base for not prolonging the period of permit validity.
Besides these, the Company presented surface of "Amrots" gold manifestation by 2.2 km3 out from the area given to them in the past, which should be considered as an expansion of mining rights for which the company did not apply and did not present documents required by the Mining Code, Article 43.
Thus, guided by the Mining Code 30 Article 5, paragraph 1, item 6, Article 42, paragraph 3 and 4 parts:
I HEREBY
1. Reject the application on extending for 2 years permits period of "Getik Mining Company" LLC in Getik River "Amrots" gold manifestation and "Aygut" copper manifestation of RA Gegharkunik Province, ore geological exploration 22.05.2012 year of Geological Exploration Permit– 29/034 (formerly No 85) and Geological Exploration Permit -29/035 (formerly No 86);
2. Define that geological exploration for the purposes of minerals extraction 22.05.2012 of Geological Exploration Permit-29/034 (formerly 85) and Geological Exploration Permit-29/035 (formerly 86) permits and sub-soil investigation of minerals for extraction purposes 06.11.2012 year No PV-034 and No PV-035 and the end of validity time of mining contracts 10.12.2013 year, terminate the right on Getik River "Amrots" gold manifestation and "Aygut" copper manifestation geological mineral investigation given to "Getik Mining Company" LLC in RA Gegharkunik Province, and resolve (terminate) mining contracts 06.11.2012 year No PV-034 and No PV-035;
3. This order may be appealed by the administrative order after 6 months period of its entry into force or by court in 2 years period of its entry into force.
4. The control of this order is reserved to the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.
Armen Movsisyan
1. Applied for an extension for its two exploration permits, Geological Exploration Permits 29/034 and 29/304 (formerly referred to as exploration permits No. 85 and no. 86) on December 6, 2013 under application number No G-28/128;
2. The application was rejected and the exploration permits terminated along with the exploration license agreements, by ministerial decree on January 22, 2014.
3. Termination was the result of the Company failing to fulfil its contractual obligations under Exploration License Agreement PV-034 and PV-035 by failing to implement their work plan and scheduled activities as filed (33 page document) in accordance to the license agreements; In particular the Company failed to perform required drilling volume by 90%, surface exploration/trenching and mapping.
But why has Mr. Van Krikorian, Chairman, Director and Corporate Counsel for GBGD failed to file a form 8-K disclosing this material event to the PUBLIC?
According to SEC rules, a Form 8-K must be filed within 4 business days of knowledge of a material event. It is now 30 days since the issuance of this Ministerial Decree, terminating GBGD's exploration license on the GETIK project.
Why has Mr. Van Krikorian failed to report this? Is it because he does not consider it important? Does he consider that losing one of GBGD's gold exploration license immaterial?
OR, is GBGD and Mr. Van Krikorian trying to hide the fact, that IF the Government of Armenia can TERMINATE the GETIK license for non-performance, can they also TERMINATE GBGD's TOUKHMANUK and MARJAN mining license too?
It is a fact, that GBGD and Mr. Van Krikorian have been desperately trying to mislead investors, through GBGD's SEC filings that the TOUKHMANUK and the MARJAN mining projects are seriously in default of their contractual obligations as filed under Toukhmanuk Mining License Agreement No. 287 and Marjan Mining License Agreement No. 144.
OR is it because GBGD and Van Krikorian are trying to hide this fact from their Joint Venture partner Consolidated Resources Armenia (CRA), who they have partially embezzled and misappropriated $7 million dollars of funding for the JV project?
This misappropriation of funds committed by Mr. Van Krikorian and his CFO, Mr. Jan Dulman, includes over $500,000 which was earmarked for exploration on the GETIK project in 2011, which clearly has been misappropriated 100%, and is now evidenced by the fact that GETIK licenses has been TERMINATED by Ministerial Decree.
GBGD's Principal Executive, Mr. Van Krikorian, and his CFO, Mr. Jan Dulman, have gotten away too long for failing to report material and adverse events affecting GBGD's investments in Armenia because there is no transparency with what happens in Armenia due to investor's lack of understanding Armenian language and understanding local regulations. Mr. Van Krikorian and Mr. Jan Dulman have failed to fully disclose in their SEC filings the process of obtaining and maintaining license and permits in Armenia, and have purposefully done so to avoid disclosing material adverse events.
Investors and Joint Venture investors rely on GBGD's SEC disclosures. If all the material facts were disclosed in GBGD's SEC filings, as they should be by law, investors would see the RED flags and not rely as much on Mr. Van Krikorian's and GBGD's deceptive disclosures. If I knew 10% of what I discovered of the status of GBGD's crumbling investments in Armenia, I would have never entered in a deal with them on the Marjan project.
I urge the US SEC, PCAOB and the department of Justice, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) division to investigate GBGD, Mr. Van Krikorian and stop this serial fraudster from continuing to make willfully false and misleading statements and omitting material facts in his SEC filings to deceive his investors and using corruption and undue influence in Armenia to silence his detractors.
