The Anti-Corruption Court has extended the pre-trial detention of Gagik Khachatryan, former chairman of Armenia’s State Revenue Committee and former finance minister, by another two months.

Khachatryan was initially remanded in custody for two months in early September.

Criminal proceedings against him began in 2019.

The charges filed against the former official in various cases concern, among other things, abuse of official powers, embezzlement on an especially large scale, complicity in money laundering, and bribery.

Emil Lazarian: “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
