HAYATSK: GRAND TOBACCO OWNER LEAVING ARMENIA
Tert.am
23.03.12
Hrant Vardanyan, owner of the Grand Tobacco Company is going to leave
Armenia along with his family soon.
His sons, Karen and Mikael, were members of Armenia’s parliament (the
former from the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun –
ARFD, the latter from the Republican Party of Armenia – RPA).
This time, neither of Hrant Vardanyan’s sons is running for parliament
now. Grand Tobacco has nominated Susanna Abrahamyan and Marina
Marabyan, with neither of them known in the constituencies. Both
local residents and the RPA were shocked.
Moreover, Yervand Chilingaryan, ex-chief of the Noyemberyan police
department, and Varuzhan Babajanyan are running for parliament from
the same constituency.
