Zhamanak: `Rozh’ and his friend released on bail
October 30, 2010
According to the information at the Zhamanak daily’s disposal,
commander of the military unit Vardan Martirosyan, nicknamed `Rozh’
(Khachaturov Junior’s close friend) and deputy commander of the
regiment for personnel management Artur Karapetyan in Ararat military
unit after Vazgen Sargsyan, were released on bail.
`This means the investigation revealed such names that the
investigators were forced to resort to their practice to conceal the
crime, particularly to make witnesses remain silent not to make the
names public,’ the daily’s sources say.
It suggests money extortion in the Armenian army is carried out at a
high level. Even the newly appointed Armenian Deputy Defense Minister
Vova Gasparyan is powerless against it.
Interestingly, Vardan Martirosyan was released on AMD 1 million
($2,800), whereas Arthur Karapetyan-on AMD 820.000 ($2.300), the daily
reports.
