The owner of a company supplying Armenia’s armed forces with weapons and ammunition has been arrested on fraud charges, the National Security Service (NSS) said on Monday.
The NSS said that the charges stem from a $1 million contract for the supply of artillery shells which Davit Galstian’s Mosston Engineering company signed with the Armenian Defense Ministry in 2018.
It said the company breached the contract by providing the ministry with ammunition designed for older and different artillery systems. Artillery units could not accomplish their “combat tasks” with those shells, the NSS added in a statement.
