As we have informed, on January 13, the staff of Department #6 of RA Police combating crime, visited the former Gyumri Mayor Vardan Ghukasyan’s district, Slabodka. The police, including the Police chief of Shirak marz, Karen Babakekhyan, who, in fact, was on vacation at the time, flatly denied through all media the fact of searching the house of former mayor of Gyumri. Today, one of local police officials (after so noisy denial of the police, we do not consider appropriate to announce his name to avoid him getting into problems), conveyed certain details to Aravot.am about the visit of the police. As said by the official, the police visited the Slabodka district for the fact of beating up the former police chief of Ani district, Samvel Sargsyan, by Vardan Ghukasyan’s teammates, in the hallway of Shirak marz Court of General Jurisdiction, on July 2013. Recall that Harutyun Sargsyan, son of former police chief of Ani district, is accused of murdering 27-year-old Karen Yesayan, fiancée of Vardan Ghukasyan’s daughter. The former police chief of Ani district was beaten up the day when Vardan Ghukasyan was invited to the court as a witness. In this respect, a criminal case was instituted. The police as a suspect in this case, as a person beating up Samvel Sargsyan, tried to apprehend Gagik Ghukasyan’s son, the late uncle of former Mayor of Gyumri, Vardan Ghukasyan. He also lives in Slabodka district. Upon hearing this news, Vardan Ghukasyan, almost returning home for from his owned “Alexsandrapol” hotel, has got angry and has advised the police to find “their murderers” with the same responsiveness. Shortly before, Ashot Aharonyan, head of RA media and PR department, in the phone conversation with Aravot.am, did not deny this information by providing no other details. In fact, our question of whether there is a person detained for beating up Samvel Sargsyan, remained unanswered.
