ArmInfo. Armenian Health Minister Arsen Torosyan explained the reasons for the dismissal of the head of the Oncology Center after Fanarjyan Armen Tananyan,  accusing him of major international fraud.

As the minister noted during the video broadcast, the dismissal of  Tananyan should be considered in the same logic as the dismissal of  the head of the Medical Center, St. Grigor Lusavorich, matchmaker of  the third president of Serzh Sargsyan, Ara Minasyan, who is accused  of large-scale misappropriation and abuse. , Torosyan assured.

As a proof of his words, the minister cited a letter from the Iranian  company “Varan Armenia”, which is engaged in the installation and  operation of equipment for the diagnosis of cancer.

Having agreed to this  condition, Iranian investors, however, demanded that their new  “partner” at least repair the part of the medical center where the  equipment should be installed, as well as buy some devices for its  safe operation. Agreeing to this, Tananyan subsequently renounced his  partnership obligations, motivating it with the fact that elections  were held in Armenia, and he “spent a lot” over this period,  therefore, he could not afford to invest in a new diagnostic center.

“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
