"Hraparak" newspaper writes:
"According to our information, the authorities are preparing a new criminal proceeding against Garegin B. We were told that the Investigative Committee is investigating an accusation under the article of "money laundering". Manya Ghazaryan, the director of "Shogakat" TV company, was questioned within the framework of that proceeding, who is also involved in the case.
Before we get the answer to our inquiry, we tried to ask Manya Ghazaryan questions: have you been invited by an investigative body, in the scope of what case, in what capacity, and is it related to Vehapar, does he have any status in that case? We got a short answer from Mrs. Ghazaryan. "Yes, I have been invited to the Investigative Committee as a witness. I cannot provide details about the questioning, because I do not know whether I have the right to do so or not.
I can only say that the criminal case has nothing to do with "Shogakat", it is a clearly baseless criminal case, and I don't see anything serious." According to our information, the case concerns the apartment that the Mother See allocated to the long-time director of "Shogakat" from its own funds. Later, the owner sold that apartment.
The Investigative Committee describes that transaction as money laundering, which was carried out by the Catholicos of All Armenians.
