"Hayatsk": Grand Tobacco Company owner Hrant Vardanyan will soon leave the country together with his family.

Armenia’s Grand Tobacco Company owner Hrant Vardanyan will soon leave the country together with his family, or all kin and kinsmen, Hayatsk daily writes, referring to its reliable information.

“[Vardanyan’s] Sons Karen and Mikayel were MPs in this [National Assembly] NA. [But] Karen has refused to become a deputy. [And] It became apparent, at the last moment yesterday [Thursday], that Vardanyan’s older son [Mikayel] also does not intend on nominating his candidacy again. In his stead, Grand Tobacco nominated two persons as [MP] candidates: a [female] tobacco worker named Susanna Abrahamyan and Marina Marabyan, who are not known by anyone in the region,” Hayatsk writes.
