"We know that a 18-strong gang led by our compatriot has been
arrested," the deputy head of the Armenian National Security Service
[Grachya Arutyunyan] has said. He was commenting on the arrest of the
Armenian-led group involved in the illegal weapons smuggling into the
USA.
Arutyunyan said that [Armenian national] Artur Solomonyan and his
brother had been detained. The two brothers left Armenia, one in 1998
and other in 2000. The students of the Academy of Agriculture left
for the USA on an exchange programme and never returned.
To recap, both of them have been wanted by police since 2001 for
dodging military service.
Arutyunyan also said that the discovered weapons had not been brought
from Armenia.
