    Minister says "not a single" weapon smuggled out of Armenia

    Regnum, Moscow
    23 Mar 05

    An Armenian citizen, wanted by the police, is accused of trying to
    smuggle arms into the USA. Meanwhile an investigation showed that not
    a single weapon was smuggled out of Armenia, the secretary of the
    National Security Council under the Armenian president and defence
    minister, Serzh Sarkisyan, said on 23 March.

    According to him, there has always been tight controls over arms depots
    in Armenia and Nagornyy Karabakh. "Not a single theft has ever been
    registered," the minister noted.

    To recap, Armenian citizen Artur Solomonyan and his brother Levon
    Solomonyan and a few others, were detained on suspicion of arms
    trafficking into the USA. Both of them have been wanted by the police
    since 2001 for dodging military service.

    According to the investigation, the Armenian citizen was in charge
    of the international criminal gang comprised of citizens of Armenia,
    Georgia and the USA.
