The Hraparak newspaper reports passions are running high in the
military unit in Ararat, Armenia.
"We have already reported the arrest of Commander Vardan Martirosyan
nicknamed 'Ugly Mug', who was committing crimes with impunity under
the 'sponsorship' of RA Deputy Minister of Defense Yuri Khachaturov.
'Ugly Mug', in company with Khachaturov's son, was beating up and
humiliating soldiers, forcing them to borrow bank loans.
"Yesterday the deputy commander of the regiment for personnel
management Artur Karapetyan was arrested as well.
"The soldiers are joking: if things go on like this, it may come
to the principal 'sponsor' Khachaturov junior. He is said to have
a hobby, staking, spending huge funds on it. He is rumored to have
lost a total of U.S. $1 million during the latest world football
championship. He father had to compensate half of the sum, his mother
gave U.S. $150,000. Khachaturov junior also had to sell his car to
pay part of the debt," the newspaper writes.
