HARUTYUNOV DENIES, MARGARYAN CONFIRMS
July 15 2013
On July 5, Aravot.am published the information that the former
President of the Youth Party of Armenia Sargis Asatryan was arrested
in Moscow on suspicion of keeping especially a large-scale drug. The
latter has been living in Moscow for several years and was the Chairman
of the Board of Trustees of the Armenian community in Moscow.
A few days later, General Roman Arutyunov representing the chief staff
of the Armenian community in Moscow denied that Sargis Asatryan had
been the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Armenian Community
in Moscow, and that they had no connection with Asatryan at all. In a
conversation with Aravot, the President of the "Anti-Corruption" NGO
Gagik Margaryan said that he has a formal document at hand saying that
on June 28 a decision was made at the closed court session to arrest
Sargis Asatryan, and he was imprisoned. Rather heavy charge was made
to S. Asatryan, and the investigation is proceeding Garnik Margaryan
does not consider right to comment at this stage. Only reflecting the
General Harutyunova's statement, he said,- "I know Sargis Asatryan
a very long time ago. YPA was not yet established, and was in close
relations with Artashes Geghamyan. The 2003 elections, when the
opposition failed, and Robert Kocharyan seized the power, after that
Sargis Asatryan moved to Moscow. And during our meeting, last year,
he gave me his business card, which said that he is the Chairman of
the Board of Trustees of the Armenian Community in Moscow. Who denies
what, it is his problem? "Mr. Margaryan is sorry that such a young
man as Sargis Asatryan is, who have a good education, have attended
some schools, and are the future of our country, instead of having
their place in their country and have a perspective, fascinated
at such evil. He also regrets that S. Asatryan, by and large, will
become a scapegoat. Margaryan still hopes that the charges will be
denied because such accusation throws a shadow on the reputation of
the Armenian nation. Nelly GRIGORYAN
