"Hraparak": The chief of the fortress greets the thieves with a kiss

The “Hraparak” newspaper writes: “Although Nikol Pashinyan has been drumming on every occasion since coming to power about the fight against the criminal subculture, the penitentiary institutions are becoming more and more deeply entrenched in that “culture.”

We were told that the head of the “Armavir” penitentiary Garik Tsaturyan and his deputy Ishkhan Hakobjanyan have warm relations with the “thieves.” When the officials enter the “zone,” they hug and even greet with a kiss one of the well-known figures of the criminal subculture, Artur Asatryan, also known as Tsur from Noragavit, who is serving his sentence in the 3rd building of the penitentiary.

There is information that the brother of the head of the penitentiary Tsovinar Tadevosyan also has warm relations with Nver Kirakosyan, also known as Nverik from Noragyugh, and another “authority,” Sevo. Through the latter, Tadevosyan's brother is trying to help his sister manage the prisons.
