On April 7, 2007, Avag Ghazaryan, resident of Vagharshapat village,
informed the RA police forces that RA NA deputy Hakob Hakobyan had
kidnapped his father Sahak Ghazaryan.
The investigation revealed that Hakob Hakobyan had forcibly put
Sahak Ghazaryan into his black BMW with the help of his driver and
a Haykaz. Further on, they drove Sahak Ghazaryan to cottage 4 of the
"Zvartnots" restaurant complex.
In Sahak Ghazaryan’s words, Hakob Hakobyan promised 5 000 USD in
case his son Vanik Ghazaryan didn’t appear in the courtroom and give
testimony against Hakobyan on April 9, 2007.
An action was brought under Article 131 of the RA Penal Code. The
prosecutor’s office of Armavir is in charge of the investigation.
