Ruben Hayrapetyan hung the phone without hearing the question
Rumours have it that Armenian parliamentarian Ruben Hayrapetyan stands behind the arrest of Saribek Sukiasian, the brother of Armenian tycoon Khachatrur Sukiasyan. Today A1+ tried to clarify the rumors personally from Ruben Hayrapetyan.
"This is my personal telephone. Do not try to contact me again," Ruben Hayrapetyan told A1+'s journalist without hearing the question.
Coomenting on Saribek Sukiasian's arrest, Sukiasians' advocates state the authorities aim to deprive the family of their property.
A police statement issued later on February 12 said the raid was prompted by a complaint from a Yerevan resident identified as Gor Davtian. It said that Sukiasian and Stepanian forced Davtian to sign "some documents" relating to his shares in a little-known company called Byuregh.
Sukiasian and Stepanian reportedly bought 40 % shares of the company from Gor Davtian last year after paying 105 million 700 thousand drams.
The advocates say MP Ruben Hayrapetyan who recently bought Bjni Company belonging to the Sukiasians stands behind the plot.
