Karabakh war hero Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan, also known as Komandos, today
reiterated that Azerbaijan stands behind the arrest of Armenian
businessman and philanthropist Levon Hayrapetyan. He says Azerbaijan
probably bribed some top officials in Russian special services to
prosecute the wealthy Armenian.
Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan says Azerbaijan has been 'hunting after' the
philanthropist for many years and they have been constantly announcing
that Hayrapetyan is financing the Nagorno-Karabakh army. Moreover,
they said Hayrapetyan was building a personal army.
"Apparently, they meant the military college which Hayrapetyan is
building in Karabakh and where I work as an adviser," says
Major-General Ter-Tadevosyan.
"Hayrapetyan has also invited Cossacks, who are supporters of the
independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, to work at the college. Naturally,
Azerbaijanis could not remain indifferent to it. They [Azerbaijanis]
decided to get rid of Hayrapetyan and they achieved their goal. This
is my opinion," said Komandos.
Levon Hayrapetyan, a native of Karabakh known for his investments and
charity projects in his homeland, was detained in Moscow last week
over alleged links with a notorious Russian criminal gang. Russian
media immediatelt reported that Hayrapetyan is suspected of 'illegal
financial machinations' in an oil company purchase deal.
