"Mr. Kerkorian has never dealt with details, he gave a general direction, and his aides are the ones carrying out the work according to his will. In his will he wrote about giving his entire wealth to benevolence, without specifying where, to a foreign or Armenian organization. There is a man in charge of the will, a person who worked with Kerkorian for 50 years, who is well aware of Mr. Kerkorian's preferences, attitudes, mentality. I have no doubt that his posthumous desire is the same, to give his wealth to both Armenian and non-Armenian philanthropic projects ", Harut Sassounian said.

He noted that it is early to speak about these programs, since there are legal issues. "His dividends of MGM should be sold, converted into money, these issues still need to be resolved, then only  it will be clear how much money will be allocated to the programs", he said. As for the rumor that Kerkorian was offended by Armenia, and therefore suspended the activities of the "Lincy" Foundation, Harut Sassounian called it lies and false accusations. He said that Kirk Kerkorian had no reason to be offended, and was satisfied with the works that had been done.
