The National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia is probing the estate of Robert Kocharyan, a former President of Armenia who ruled the country from 1998 to 2008.

NSS director Arthur Vanetsyan told reporters after today’s Cabinet meeting that the probe is underway and that details will be disclosed soon.

No other details were available at the moment.

Kocharyan has faced corruption-related allegations but has denied any wrongdoing.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
