The above- mentioned petitions concern the  following properties: the mansion illegally built by former Chief of  Police Vladimir Gasparyan (address: 97 1 Street, Drakhtik Community),  the Harsnakar Hotel Complex, and the mansion illegally built by Ruben  Hayrapetyan, former President of the Football Federation and former  Member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia (address:  38 3 Street, Sevan Recreation Area); the mansion illegally built by  Seyran Ohanyan, former Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia  (address: 71 1 Street, Drakhtik Community); and the illegally built  mansion belonging to Arman Hakobjanyan, Chairman of the Board of  Kapavor LLC (address: 88 1 Street, Drakhtik Community).
