Currently the most important cases for the police are the cases of former high-rank policemen Hovannes Tamamyan and Markar Ohanyan. Both are arrested. What is going on there?

Concerning the criminal case on the gasoline misappropriation, i can say that the case was instituted and I am sorry that Markar Ohanyan is connected with all this. Everybody knows that we were friends. Ohanyan denies every accusation against him.

The deputy of Markar Ohanyan, Stepan Karakhanyan left Armenia because of the accusations by which Ohanyan was arrested.

As far as I know, he is here.

Do you know that Markar Ohanyan accuses you?

No, I do not know anything about it and I cannot imagine what kind of accusations these are. I do not know.
