The day before it was reported that the son of the second president of Armenia Robert Kocharian - Sedrak Kocharyan, sued the director of the National Security Service, the president of the Football Federation Arthur Vanetsyan. As reported by the judicial information system, the plaintiff demanded to pay compensation for libel and publicly refute the statement. At the same time, it does not indicate what kind of statement it is.
Earlier, on September 11, Vanetsyan stated during a press conference that a new criminal case was opened against Robert Kocharyan on the fact of the Kocharyan family's acquisition of the Congress Hotel for a bribe of $ 6 million. He also said that the criminal case was initiated on the fact of money laundering . Nevertheless, the other day, the head of the National Security Council clarified a number of his earlier statements about Kocharyan, introducing them as "a consequence of a quick manner of speech." "I want to make only one amendment: during the press conference, I announced a bribe of 6 million." It was "the result of a quick manner of speech." It's not about a bribe, but about money, "Vanetsian said
