"Zhoghovurd" daily writes: "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper became aware that after the decision to detain Argam Abrahamyan, the son of the former RA Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, for 2 months, the latter was taken to the Yerevan Kentron Penitentiary or the well-known National Security Service isolation cell, where he is currently being detained. PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan, who is Argam Abrahamyan's father-in-law, is also currently under arrest in Yerevan Kentron Correctional Facility. Let us note that in April 2023 On the 30th in Yerevan, near the building at Myasnikyan 2, the spiritual pastor of the "Christians of the Gospel Faith" religious organization Soghomon Vlasyan was shot dead.
More than three years after the murder, the case took a new turn. On August 8, NSS officers arrested Argam Abrahamyan, the son of former Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, and on August 9 he was detained. According to the investigative committee, Abrahamyan decided to kill Vlasyan not personally, but through his security guard Gegham Hakobyan, out of revenge.
According to the investigation, Abrahamyan instructed Hakobyan to kill Vlasyan, and the latter committed the murder with a firearm on April 30, 2023 near Myasnikyan 2.
A public criminal prosecution was initiated against Abrahamyan under Article 46-155, Part 2, Clause 11 of the Criminal Code, for inciting to commit a contract murder. However, it is not clear from the statement published by the Criminal Investigation Department what exactly new evidence appeared in 2024-2026, which allowed the investigation to present Abrahamyan as the alleged mastermind three years later." Details in today's issue of "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper.
