Arrest warrant issued for remanded MP’s wife
The Special Investigative Service has issued an arrest warrant for Nazik Amiryan, the wife of Member of Parliament Manvel Grigoryan – the influential former general who is currently remanded in custody pending trial for grand theft and illegal possession of firearms.
Earlier on June 18, anti-corruption officers of police discovered two vargo vehicles loaded with military food supplies in a Yerevan parking lot. The drivers of the vehicles, members of the Yerkrapah Volunteer Union – an NGO formerly chaired by the general – have claimed that they loaded the supplies – canned meat made for the military and not available for sale anywhere – at the instruction of Nazik Amiryan from the headquarters of Yerkrapah Volunteers Union on June 16. About 3000 cans were found in the cars.
