Relations with my dear colleague from the Civil Contract party, Hayk Sargsyan, have become strained because he has harbored ambitions of becoming an oligarch ever since 2018. — Pashinyan

Relations with Hayk Sargsyan within the Civil Contract party have become strained because my dear colleague has harbored ambitions of becoming an oligarch ever since 2018. Pashinyan stated this.

"Revelations concerning him have emerged—confirmed by legally binding court rulings—and there are criminal cases. Tensions arose when the issue of the illegal operation of sand quarries was raised; it turned out that either he himself or individuals affiliated with him were involved, and it was discovered that he had been driving a vehicle with illegal license plates," he noted.
