Armenian MP curses the police employee during the trial of Ex-Chief of Road Police Margar Ohanyan (Video).

A displeasing incident occurred today, on Jan. 19, during the trial of Armenia’s former Road Police Chief Margar Ohanyan, which is being held at capital Yerevan’s Kentron and Nork Marash General Jurisdiction Court, photojournalist Gagik Shamshyan informed LURER.com.

MP Harutyun Gharagyozyan (a.k.a. Harut of Caramel) had come to attend the court session, too, but the bailiffs did not allow him and many others to enter the courtroom, saying the latter is full.

Subsequently, Gharagyozyan yelled at the bailiffs, and, when their commander said he is carrying out the law accepted by them, the MP cursed and left.  

To note, Margar Ohanyan is charged with abuse of official position and large-scale embezzlement of property, and he is under custody since August 30. If found guilty, he could face up to 12 years in prison. In his capacity as Armenia’s Road Police Chief, Margar Ohanyan appropriated 574,420 liters of gasoline, which was allocated to the Road Police, and thus he caused the state damages worth 160 million drams (approx. US$ 420,000).
