ZHOGHOVURD: SIRADEGHYAN'S NEPHEW ABOUT EX-MINISTER'S ACTIVITIES
- Mushegh Siradeghyan, the nephew of ex- interior minister Vano Siradeghyan, who is currently wanted by Interpol, in his interview with Zhoghovurd commented on charges against his uncle. "Possibly, there were murders in that system at that time. But they could not be committed on Vano's own initiative. It was done by a group of people. And if currently someone from that group is at large or is a political figure, it means that he wants to shift liability onto Vano and to scapegoat him," he said. Mushegh Siradeghyan refused to go deep into details and told the reporter to ask him no more questions, the paper reports.
