In Armenia, cases were opened against two large entrepreneurs. Criminal proceedings have been opened against the owner of the chain of stores "88", Narak Nalbandian, and the owner of the largest shipping company in Armenia, "Spaika", David Kazarian, reports the "World Armenian Community" with reference to the Attorney General's Office. Nalbandian was accused of anti-competitive activity aimed at causing damage to property on an extremely large scale. Kazarian is accused of a similar act, as well as extortion on a particularly large scale. Journalists remember how in September, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated in a briefing that Nalbandian was already "getting on his nerves" because he did not deny constant rumors in the media about his closeness to the Prime Minister's family. In this context, observers emphasize that in a state of law, the fate of the accused should be determined according to evidence and the court, and not according to the personal anger of the Prime Minister. As for Kazarian, another case was filed against him in Russia - he is accused of stealing millions of dollars during the supply of vegetables and fruits to the Russian Federation.
