Zhamanak: Hayrapetyan calls Sargsyan’s appointment as ambassador absurdity
Paylak Hayrapetyan, the businessman who is on the brink of bankruptcy because of the so-called offshore scandal, told ‘Zhamanak’ paper that he was surprised to learn from media reports yesterday about the appointment of ex-Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan as Armenian ambassador to the U.S.
In his words, T. Sargsyan’s appointment as ambassador is a deliberate act aimed at keeping him away at the current stage of the investigation.
“They should have questioned him to find out if he is related to the case or not. And then he might leave for the U.S. We would not stop him. But when everyone says that he is involved in this case, and he is appointed ambassador, it is absurdity,” Paylak Hayrapetyan said.
