ArmInfo. The first hearing scheduled for today in the case of head of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Armenia Hrayr Tovmasyan and his godson Norayr Panosyan will not take place.

Panosyan wanted to purchase these premises himself. To do this, he agreed with the employees of the Ministry of Justice and the Municipality of Yerevan, who organized fictitious auctions for the sale of these premises, at prices significantly lower than market prices.
In particular, the territory in the 1st dead end of Baghramyan Avenue, with a market value of 63.4 million drams (about 133 thousand dollars), was sold for 47.5 million, and on Bagratunyats Street, worth 33.5 million (70 thousand dollars) - for 3.8 million.
