Additionally, 10,361,400 AMD was spent on renting non-residential real estate from "Hanardnakagj" LLC.
It is important to note that "Soft Papirus" LLC, founded and directed by Tigran Karapetyan, had previously received certain economic benefits from the government back in 2019. The name "Avtobat LLC" was mentioned in a statement released by the State Revenue Committee in 2020, which specifically indicated that the company had supplied or transported goods without accompanying documents, failing to meet tax obligations amounting to 424,000 AMD.
Furthermore, "Dareskizb" LLC is associated with a media outlet owned by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's family, to which Garik Sargsyan's entity transferred around 900,000 AMD. In turn, "Hanardnakagj" LLC is linked to former Minister of Environment Bulki Aram, namely Aram Harutyunyan. The director of "Hanardnakagj" LLC is Arayik Khachik Harutyunyan, who was born in the town of Yeghvard, Kotayk province. It is worth mentioning that Aram Harutyunyan is also from Yeghvard.
