  Naregatsi founder calls charges against him groundless  December 15, 2011 - 13:17 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - Founder and President of Naregatsi Art Institute Nareg Harutunian believes charges set against him are groundless and “are stemming from the greed of certain people who want to earn more money”. “What happened to me is an alert both for Armenia and Diaspora,” Harutyunyan told a press conference, commenting on his arrest and charges of tax evasion. State Revenue Committee of Armenia found that “GH Storage Enterprise” belonging to Harutyunian’s family evaded taxes of AMD 111 million in total. The Court of General Jurisdiction ruled for Harutyunian’s two-month detention on December 10. On December 13, however, the measure of restraint was cancelled. “We will gladly pay the required sum, should the court prove the validity of charges,” said Harutyunian.   5 15.12.11 - Press conference of the founder of "Naregatsi" art center Narek Harutyunyan and his supporters       Top stories David Vardanyan is the son of former Karabakh leader Ruben Vardanyan who who is currently imprisoned in Azerbaijan.
