appointing unprofessional persons from Azerbaijan’s Nagorno Garabagh
province increased dissatisfaction in the professional staff of the
Armenian defense ministry (APA).
The defense ministry officer named Martiros Avakyan (Armenian press
writes this name is unconfirmed) told Armenian media that Serj
Sarkisian spends all nights in gambling casinos in Yerevan, and he
even takes immoral women he keeps under impact of narcotic drugs to
the administrative building of the defense ministry.
The minister, who is usually in hangover, goes to work afternoon and
stay only for few hours in the office. The Armenian officer also
announced that Sarkisian embezzled the state property. He said that
Sarkisian misappropriated $250 thousand, which was collected by Syrian
Armenians by head of Armenian bishopric in Damascus, Archbishop Gnel
Jerejyan and transferred to the defense ministry. In addition,
Armenian defense minister embezzled $400 thousand, which was presented
by Egia Kilagbyan on behalf of Armenian mkhitarist (religion man)

(Shaumyan) region of Nagorno Garabagh, built a trade center `Erevan
Plaza’ in the center of Moscow. The Armenia’s defense ministry
