«Hraparak». Tsarukyan Travels to Monaco with Relatives for Leisure

«Hraparak» newspaper reports: “The only ‘untouchable’ among the famous businessmen in the New Armenia is Samvel Limindrovich; the rest are ‘being punished,’ and the government is trying to ‘calm’ them in one way or another,” said our source.

At the front of the ‘punished’ list is Gagik Tsarukyan, the leader of the parliamentary second force, who has handed over his businesses to managers and, as customary, has travelled to Monaco for a leisurely vacation.

“Here, at both ‘Arinj Mall’ and all other facilities, inspections continue endlessly,” said one of the officials from ‘Multi Group.’ Meanwhile, what is the status of the hotel construction on Abovyan Street? “It is halted, and the court case has been stalled for a year; despite this, we are paying the construction company 66 million drams every month according to the contract.” Why don’t you terminate the contract? “We are preparing to do that.”

As for the rumors that the building of the former Ministry of Sports and the Olympic Committee will be purchased by Gagik Tsarukyan for sports-related purposes, are they true? There are reports that it is being put up for auction. “Everything is still at the discussion level; there is no specificity yet.”
