Minister of Health of Armenia Arsen Torosyan will also be attending the July 3 hearing on the case of ex-deputy health minister Arsen Davtyan and director of the Republican Institute of Reproductive Health, Perinatology, Obstetrics and Gynecology Razmik Abrahamyan. Torosyan’s lawyer Yerem Davtyan confirmed the news during a conversation with Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Davtyan informed that during the previous hearing, the attorneys had filed a motion with the court to summon Arsen Torosyan to court as a witness, and the court had granted the motion.

According to the indictment, Arsen Davtyan, as an official, had received a bribe in particularly large amounts for practicing favoritism and contributing to the commission of certain actions through the use of his official position.

Razmik Abrahamyan is charged with giving a bribe in particularly large amounts to former deputy minister of health of Armenia Arsen Davtyan, who was ex officio coordinating the works for organizing maintenance of health of mothers and children and the works for funding the healthcare system through the Ministry of Health.
