YEREVAN. – Armenia’s Martuni town resident Larisa Grigoryan blamed an Armenian Military Police staff member on her husband’s disappearance. 

Grigoryan’s husband, 49-year-old Never Zakaryan, disappeared on December 28, 2010. Prior to the New Year, her husband had met with his friend, Armenian Military Police staff member Gevorg Mumchyan, at the latter’s home, but had disappeared since then, Larisa Grigoryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.    

According to Grigoryan, the two men had met to discuss a profit-bringing proposal which Gevorg Mumchyan had made. And with Mumchyan’s proposition, Zakaryan had borrowed $30,000 US from his friends and given it to Mumchyan. To note, Mumchyan had lost a huge amount of money at a casino several days earlier, but returned the amount on December 28. 

Even though a criminal case is launched on Zakaryan’s disappearance, there is also another case in connection with official receiving bribe. Armenian News-NEWS.am found out that Mumchyan was asking for bribe from Zakaryan so that the latter’s son, who is in the army, could serve under better conditions.  

Gevorg Mumchyan is under arrest along the lines of the second case, but his lawyer has formally requested that he be released on bail. And this is why Larisa Grigoryan petitioned to Armenia’s President, PM, and the media.
