ArmInfo.No matter how shocking re the facts revealed against the Republican Party MP, the head of the Yerkrapah Volunteer Union, General Manvel Grigoryan, he is not even among 100 major corrupt officials of Armenia, MP, former Republican Artur Gevorgyan stated in a conversation with journalists.
However, he assumed that in the near future there will be new revelations. Asked whether the top leadership of the country could know about the criminal activity of Manvel Grigoryan, Gevorgyan said: "Why not, many people have a guilty conscience." In response to a question why Manvel was not arrested earlier, Gevorgyan, who is the son-in-law of the former Chief of Police Vladimir Gasparyan, said: "Previously, law enforcement officers did not have permission to do that, now they do." At the same time, he assured that there had been shocking revelations before, they simply were not publicized.

Against the backdrop of the recent events, the son of Grigoryan, Mayor of Echmiadzin Karen Grigoryan, resigned. It is not yet clear whether the then leadership of the country was aware of the criminal activities of the general. Meanwhile, former Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan assured that he has no idea how the goods, weapons and means, provided for the army were found in Grigorian's house.
