YEREVAN, Armenia -- Armenia's former foreign minister has been
detained on suspicion of money laundering, security officials said,
in a probe that prompted criticism from opposition lawmakers.
Police detained Alexander Azrumanian on Monday, just two days after
investigators allegedly found $55,400 in foreign cash in his apartment,
the National Security Service said.
Azrumanian and former Deputy Defense Minister Vaan Shirkhanian
traveled to Moscow last month and allegedly agreed with a Russian
citizen to transfer thousands of dollars to Armenia, the security
service said.
