As surprising as it may sound, but from the biggest bank in Russia and the CIS – «Sberbank» can undertake urgent money transfers to Nagorno-Karabakh.
Thus, «Sberbank» de facto helps Armenian Diaspora to make money transfers in unrecognized «Nagorno-Karabakh» and to help the separatists of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Immediately, we should note that the Savings Bank of Russia is the largest bank in Russia and CIS. Its assets amount to a quarter of Russia’s banking system and the share of banking capital is at 30%. According to the magazine “The Banker” (July 1, 2009), Sberbank held 38th place by the size of fixed capital (Tier 1 capital level) among the largest banks in the world.
The fact that money transfers can be carried out to Nagorno-Karabakh through the offices of the Savings Bank, Day.Az correspondent was told in a hotline of «Sberbank».
«It is possible to carry out money transfers to Nagorno-Karabakh. This translation will be carried out with the help of our correspondent banks. You can find in the office of the Savings Bank a list of correspondent banks depending on the currency transferred, », – emphasized us the specialist of hotline, introduced as Svetlana.
Correspondent Day.Az repeatedly called the hotline, where we were able to clarify some curious details.
In particular, we were informed that you can transfer money to any bank, located in Nagorno-Karabakh.
«You can transfer money to any bank, located in Nagorno-Karabakh. Savings Bank transfers money to any area of the world, regardless of whether, to what the country or state it is », – emphasized the specialist of hotline Tatiana.
We tried to explain to the specialist that Nagorno-Karabakh is the Azerbaijani territory and cooperation with banks operating in Karabakh is illegally. We also were responded to the followings:
«I understand perfectly your concern, but the transfers are made».
it should be noted that the official site of the Savings Bank stated that the transfer of Nagorno-Karabakh is available in two branches «ARDSHININVESTBANK».
We believe that the Central Bank of Azerbaijan must respond to such facts. It is worth noting that the central bank of Azerbaijan has always quickly and seamlessly respond to such facts, and therefore, like to believe that Sberbank will be sent an official letter of protest.
We should recall that in the past year thanks to a series of articles in Day.Az and clear position of the Central Bank, Western Union money transfer and «Migom» stopped cooperation with the separatists of Nagorno-Karabakh. In addition, the activities of money transfer system Money gram, which has ignored calls by the Central Bank, has been completely banned in Azerbaijan.
