Recently, Aravot.am e-mail received a letter from a citizen named Karen Petrossyan about how Syunik Governor Suren Khachatryan’s son, Karen Khachatryan, had become an owner of 13 thousand square meters of the territory involved in Vorotan HHP complex. His letter sent to “Aravot” particularly reads, “During the talks raised months ago around privatization of Vorotan hydroelectric complex, by the instruction of Surik Khaachatryan, Liska, the General Director of the complex, his cousin, Sasun Khachatryan, has documented 13,000 (thirteen thousand) square meter territory with its buildings and communications belonging to Tatev-Vorotan HHP included in the complex, first, as a sale for a total of 1 million 700 thousand drams in the names of the employees of the complex Anush Gharagyozyan and Samvel Alexanyan, then, a short time later, it was privatized in the name of his son, Karen Khachatryan. Along with the constructions, the real cost of the territory is 25-30 million drams. The sole purpose of urgent documenting of illegal and fraudulent transaction was to sell it later to the new owners of the complex at tenfold times higher price.” In the result of our study, we found out that the territories originally were acquired by Anush Gharagyozyan and Samvel Alexanyan, and in 2002 and 2005, based on sale and purchase agreement, Karen Khachatryan became the owner of the said territories.
