YEREVAN. – Businesswoman Silva Hambardzumyan, who went through an ordeal with Suren Khachatryan—governor of Armenia’s Syunik Region and owner of a large mine—and who appealed the Prosecutor’s Office’s decision to discontinue the case into Khachatryan’s slapping of Hambardzumyan, recently opened a new mine, in Iran, with seventy employees, Hraparak daily writes.     

“Silva Hambardzumyan’s mine is located nearby Shiraz city. In a conversation with our correspondent yesterday [Tuesday], the businesswoman said the Governor of Syunik did not attempt to meet with her after the incident, and, in connection with her mine’s lost equipment—which, according to her, was taken by Suren Khachatryan—there is nothing new, [and] the case is continuing. ‘I will ultimately petition to the European Court with that affair. Let this country [Armenia] be completely disgraced,’ Hambardzumyan told our correspondent,” Hraparak writes.
