Based on the revelations appearing in a December 4 Hetq article, the Lori Public Prosecutor has filed criminal charges against the former Shnogh Village Mayor Haykaz Kochinyan for suspicious financial dealings while in office.
It has now come to light that former Shnogh Village Mayor Haykaz Kochinyan was paying 1.2 million AMD ($3,000) every year from 2007 to 2011 out of the community budget in gas expenses for a car that didn't run and that was parked in the mayor’s outside garage for the years in question.
We got in touch with Mayor Kochinyan for some answers. His reply was short and to the point. “Stay as far away from me as possible and don’t enter this village. You were here on Saturday. You think I don’t know?”
