Company Owned by Yerevan District Deputy Prosecutor Keeps Winning State Contracts
Victoria Melik-Sargsyan, wife of Yerevan’s Malatia-Sebastia Administrative District Deputy Prosecutor Arsen Kostandyan, owns a company that sells millions of drams worth of clothing to various Armenian state agencies.
Anga Trans LLC’s clients include the National Security Service (NSS), the State Protection Service, the Penitentiary Service and the Ministry of Defense.
According to the State Register of Legal Entities, Anga Trans LLC was founded in on January 21, 2021. Victoria Melik-Sargsyan is the sole owner of the company that started to vie for state contracts three months after its establishment.
The company won 26 contracts totaling 340 million drams in 2021. The largest contract, 57 million drams, was with the Police Department. The company provided T-shirts to the police.
In the first two months of 2022, the company has signed seven contracts with state agencies.
The last contract (36 million drams) was signed three days ago with the National Security Service to supply coats, shirts, jackets and trousers.
In October 2021, Anga Trans signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense to supply one million drams worth of epaulets.
The company failed to do so, and the ministry has since requested that the company be barred from the state procurement process. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for today.
Anga Trans isn’t the only company owned by Victoria Melik-Sargsyan that has supplied clothes to state agencies.
Last year, Hetq wrote that the companies Manank and Pahapan had supplied hundreds of millions of drams worth of equipment to various government agencies, mainly law enforcement agencies. At present, these two companies aren’t participating in the procurement process.
