The statement of lawyer Emin Khachatryan.

In response to the questions regarding the letter of the citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was published yesterday in the official press and is actively spreading, I consider it necessary to present the following facts.

The citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who are the authors of the letter, first filed a report on the crime in their country against their director Hamlet Tumanyan, who, by the way, was a close friend of Arman Olamaein’s father for many years.

However, as a result of multi-faceted examination of the case in the competent courts of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the court of the second instance issued a final judicial act, which clearly stated that Hamlet Tumanyan’s actions did not contain any crime or fraud.

After that, father and son Olamaein accepted in writing the 14.5 million owed to Gagik Tsarukyan.
The debt in US dollars, in respect of which a corresponding letter of obligation has been drawn up. They undertook to return the money within two years, until 2026.

However, after the expiration of the debt repayment period, instead of fulfilling their assumed obligations, father and son Olamaeins came forward with clearly groundless and untrue accusations against Gagik Tsarukyan. The purpose of these actions, according to the available facts, is obviously to avoid the fulfillment of their financial obligations and exclude the return of the debt.

We present to you the original final judgment of the Court of Second Instance of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its official Armenian translation, as well as a copy of the bond. These documents give everyone the opportunity to make their own assessment of the presented realities.

The content of the documents proves once again that the accusations against Gagik Tsarukyan are not substantiated by objective facts, and the initiated criminal proceedings are based on such claims that clearly contradict the already existing documents and judicial acts.
