The Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia does not deny reports about the raid in the home of former Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan and his possible arrest.   

According to media reports, Tonoyan’s house was searched as part of a criminal investigation into arms supplies and it is possible he will be arrested, Pastinfo reported on Wednesday.

Searches are also underway in the houses of former Head of the Military Aviation Avetik Muradyan and Deputy Chief of the General Staff Stepan Galstyan.

Pastinfo contacted the Prosecutor General’s Office to find out within what criminal case Tonoyan’s house has been searched and whether there is a decision on his arrest. However, the law enforcement agency said it could not provide any information at the moment, thus not refuting reports about the search in Tonoyan’s home and his possible arrest.

“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
