ARMENIAN POLITICIAN IN THEFT CASE

by Bassam Za’za’, Staff Reporter

An Armenian politician who was held on suspicion of theft has been
released, diplomatic sources said yesterday.

Hagop Hagopyan, his son and a third suspect were held for questioning
late last month.

The incident occurred after a shop manager complained to police that
two leather jackets worth Dh60,000 had gone missing after the trio
had visited the store.

Hagopyan was on a visit to Dubai, said Arshag Poladyan, Armenian
Ambassador to the UAE.
