In the today's hearing of the case of large scale embezzlement in the
sphere of social security, the former head of State Social Security
Service Vazgen Khachikyan announced that he does not accept the
presented accusations. Lawyer by profession, the defendant claimed that
he did not understand the nature of the proposed official fraud charge.
The prosecutor Hovhannes Yenoqyan said that according to indictment,
large scale embezzlement with the organized group was implemented by
V.Khachikyan, with the distribution of the role and income of each
of the defendants. Group, according to the prosecutor, implemented
actions directed at common goal, accompanied by official fraud in
the pension's payment lists.
That reasoning also didn't satisfy V.Khachikyan. He announced that
even though he did not understand the nature of the accusation, in
future, in the scope of examination of testimonies, he will give his
assessment and will prove his innocence, even if he is not obliged
to do that, the prosecution has to prove him guilty.

Judge Mkhitar Papoyan, directed the attention of the prosecution on
the announcement of the defense and offered to present the accusation
of the official fraud in a more understandable way.
