According to the newspaper “Joxovurd”, head of department at the Armenian Defense Ministry, colonel Samvel Khachatryan has found out that the prices were exaggerated of the pieces of equipment sold to the ministry by L tech comp. LLC, APA reported.
After this, Ayrapetyan warned Khachatryan that he should forget this issue and not inform authorities in this regard. But Khachatryan ignored the warning and reported the offence to the ministry’s higher authorities.

The paper reports that senior specialist of Technical Supply Department of the Defense Ministry was arrested on charges of taking bribes on March 15 this year. He told investigators that Ayrapetyan insulted and threatened him. Ayrapetyan forced him to testify against Khachatryan.
