Rubik Ghazaryan, an Armenian businessman living in Russia, claims that the space attributed by the Armenian Prosecutor's Office to the president of the Constitutional Court, Hrayr Tovmasyan, actually belongs to him since 2009, Hraparak.am reports.

"I was informed that the prosecutor's office had issued a statement noting that the space lawfully owned by me and which was leased, allegedly, belongs to Hrayr Tovmasyan," he said. “I officially deny it. There is no such thing and it has not been. The prosecutor's office is spreading false information. I am the owner of that leased land, and I acquired it in 2009, with the money I worked in Russia; all the [respective] legal papers are at my disposal. Since I do not live in Armenia, I have leased this space to different people at different times.”

The businessman informed that he will come to Armenia soon, and will demand a response from law enforcement to attributing the space belonging to him to someone else.

Yesterday, after the indictment of president Hrayr Tovmasyan of the Constitutional Court, the Prosecutor General's Office issued a statement saying that during his tenure as Minister of Justice, Tovmasyan had forced the president of the Notary Chamber to lease for the latter the real estate actually belonging to him—and on his own terms and amount of lease.
