Earlier, the General Prosecutor's Office had stated that Vardenis Psychoneurologic Boarding House Director Nver Hovhannisyan had been arrested for exploiting 4 patients in his care. As reported previously, the patients were working in the nearby village of Nerkin Shorzha herding livestock belonging to the psychiatric hospital but also to Hovhannisyan himself.
Those working in Nerkin Shorzha aren’t provided any medical supervision. The director’s friends are the only outsiders monitoring the patients. You can bet these people are more interested in the work, and not the health, of the patients.
