“Tigran Sargsyan has canceled his visit to Israel due to possible arrest.”
Armenian Premier Tigran Sargsyan has canceled his visit to Israel due to possible arrest, according to Aykakan Zhamanak.
Officially, the prime minister was said to have a high temperature due to which he was obliged to cancel the visit.
The newspaper refers to sources in the government saying Sargsyan has canceled his visit due to “smear acts” while being the head of the Central Bureau, in particular, money laundering via the banking system of Armenia and transfer of a part of it to the Arabic countries. These amounts could be used to finance international terrorism, the newspaper reads. Israel is well aware of the smeary acts by Sargsyan, therefore, the Armenian leadership recommended him to cancel the visit to avoid possible arrest.
