ArmInfo.  President of the Republic of Artsakh Samvel Shahramanyan calls for an investigation into the issue of returning the loot. He made this statement on April 18 during a meeting with protesters who had gathered outside the  permanent representative office of Artsakh in Armenia. It should be  noted that the protesters are demanding the return of $467 million,  that were allocated to the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic from Armenia's  state budget, but were then appropriated by 48 families.

During the meeting with protesters, Samvel Shahramanyan stated that  he had already testified several times to the investigative bodies of  Armenia on this issue, moreover, law enforcement agencies were given  electronic media of the Investment Fund. Shahhramyan assured that the  investigative bodies have all the information about every dram spent.  "If the current action truly aims to return the stolen funds, then I  am all for it," the head of the NKR said, calling on those gathered  to increase public pressure on law enforcement agencies  to resolve  the situation. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of  resolving the issue in a civilized manner, rather than through street  violence. Shahhramyan suggested that the protesters form a group of  10 people for a separate meeting with him.
