The investigative committee says large scale investigative and tactical operations are underway to uncover the circumstances surrounding the embezzlement case in Yerevan’s Yans restaurant.

Organized crime unit officers and detectives have searched the homes of S. Karapetyan, the director of Selena LLC – the company owning the restaurant and R. Beglaryan, the owner of the company. The restaurant itself was also searched. It is located in Yerevan’s Teryan Street. Police found large amounts of cash in the search.

The investigative committee says the cash has been handed over to the Central Bank for storage until the investigation reveals the circumstances and its origin. 1,100,400 US dollars in cash was found, in addition to 230,500 Euros and 36,000,000 drams.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
