Armenia’s anti-corruption committee targets former mayor of Etchmiadzin

The Anti-Corruption Committee of Armenia has questioned Diana Gasparyan, the former mayor of Etchmiadzin.

According to Caliber.Az, 37-year-old Diana Gasparyan—whose family members were involved in several high-profile cases during her tenure—resigned in May, citing her decision to devote more time to her family after seven years in office.

Armenian media report that the former mayor’s family is expected to come under closer scrutiny by law enforcement authorities in the near future.

Earlier, the Prosecutor’s Office of Armenia launched an investigation following a publication in the newspaper Hetq about illegal construction linked to Gasparyan’s father-in-law.
