Lawsuit opened against defense ministry for failure of a tender for supply of Russian weapons
A criminal case “on negligent attitude to service” has been opened in Armenia because of a disruption of the tender for the supply of weapons in which the Russian company participated, Hay Dzayn newspaper reported.
According to the source, in May, Armenia’s defense ministry announced a tender for the supply of military equipment in the amount of several million dollars. Only Russian ORSIS could satisfy the qualification requirements.
However, the tender was closed without explanation. ORSIS appealed to the Appeals Commission and to the lawyer representing its interests in Armenia, as a result of which a lawsuit was filed. The Armenian Ministry of Defense confirmed the information about the criminal case.
"All additional information will be provided at the end of the work of the investigating authorities," the agency’s representative told RIA Novosti.
