The government of Karabakh is now working on the list of land owners
whom the Mill Company owns. The Office of Prosecutor General is
dealing with it.

We have learned that one of the major companies in Karabakh which
was privatized a few years ago is broke and owes millions to the
government and wheat producers.

Two former CEOs of the Mill Grisha Hairapetyan and Ararat Hairiyan are
now under arrest. Two days ago Ararat Hairiyan sent an open letter to
the government accusing the Office of Prosecutor General of reluctance
to reveal objective facts regarding the Mill.

The media reported political motives of Grisha Hairapetyan’s arrest,
who is an influential figure in the ARF Dashnaktsutyun of Artsakh. The
Yerevan-based Lragir.am reported that Grisha Hairapetyan was arrested
to coerce the ARF Dashnaktsutyun not to run in the presidential
election and to support the government candidate. This supposition
is probably true because two days ago two Armenian generals visited
Grisha Hairapetyan at the remand prison of Stepanakert.
