“A fire broke out in one of the warehouses of the “Avshar” wine and brandy factory, owned by former National Assembly deputy Arayik Grigoryan, as a result of which a certain amount of brandy was burned.
We were told by the village of Avshar that a fire broke out on Sunday in a former furniture factory, in one part of which brandy was stored.
The fire damaged containers filled with brandy, and, according to residents, the factory suffered about 50 million drams in damage.
