ArmInfo. Stealing from the army and soldiers is unacceptable and must be deeply condemned, whoever is behind this must answer in all the strictness of the law. On June 18 at the briefings in the Parliament, the deputy from the Elk faction Edmond Marukyan stated, referring to the latest revelations related to the RPA deputy Manvel Grigoryan.
The deputy noted that a man alone could not carry out a robbery on such a scale. "I do not rule out that other" heroes "in their garages are trying to destroy stolen canned goods," said Marukyan, wondering how the help that the children sent to the soldiers eventually ended up in Manvel Grigoryan.
"I believe that the faction of the Republican Party should express its political position in connection with this situation and should assist the plenipotentiary structures in the investigation of this case," the MP said.
Marukyan also touched upon the issue of depriving Grigoryan of parliamentary immunity. "An extraordinary session of the parliament will be held tomorrow, according to the Constitution, both the Government and the NA deputies can convene an extraordinary meeting, collecting the necessary number of signatures," the deputy said.
Marukyan also stressed that if tomorrow this meeting is not discussed, it will be possible to convene another extraordinary meeting by collecting signatures from deputies.
Marukyan also said that in the near future there will be many similar exposures. . Grigoryan was detained on June 16 on charges of acquiring and storing weapons and ammunition, later it turned out that he was also charged with the theft of provisions, equipment and humanitarian aid for the army. After finding out the new circumstances Grigoryan's son, Mayor of Echmiadzin Karen Grigoryan resigned, and his lawyer Hrant Ananyan refused to defend.
