Narek Karapetyan: Authorities want to start a pre-planned process  against Tashir Group

ArmInfo. Investigators have seized 37 documents from the office of Narek Karapetyan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Electric Networks of Armenia CJSC. Narek Karapetyan himself confirmed this in a conversation with journalists on July 8.  Commenting on the Investigative Committee's report on large-scale searches in 51 organizations suspected of money  laundering and tax evasion on a particularly large scale, the head of  the Council noted that the authorities want to start a planned  process. Finding nothing significant, they resort to mass pressure. 

"However, it must be admitted that no one in Armenia is afraid of  detentions or arrests anymore. Let them arrest as many as they want,  it is a great honor for Armenia today to be on the other side of the  bars. It is very important that every citizen could go against the  wave, not with the wave, so that later they can live with their heads  held high," Narek Karapetyan said.

When asked about what was found in his house, the head of the Council  noted that they took 2 hats, which, seem to be crucial evidence for  pressing charges. Narek Karapetyan emphasized that he is not yet  aware of which other structures of the Tashir Group of Companies are  being searched. He expressed doubt that  51 companies are involved,  suggesting that most of them have no relation to the Tashir Group of  Companies.  Narek Karapetyan saw a direct relation between the large  rally in support of Samvel Karapetyan and the current actions taken  by the authorities. According to him, if the rally had not been so  large, there might not have been such pressure.
