The license to organize a casino of “Onira Club” has been revoked

The license to organize the “Onira Club” LLC casino (Shangri La) belonging to the family of “Prosperous Armenia” party leader Gagik Tsarukyan was declared invalid.


RA Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan announced this on his Facebook page and published the attached decision.


From the document published by the minister, we learn that the reason is the inconsistencies of the data in the reports on financial flows submitted to the supervisory body, which were qualified as false and distorted.


In particular, the discrepancy is related to the readings of the counters of the gaming machines. The minister’s decision is subject to immediate implementation. The company can appeal it to the Administrative Court within two months.

“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
