There is no information in the judicial information system and the register as to the scope of the case in which the means of securing the claim against the shares of the companies was used. Aram Orbelyan, a lawyer representing the interests of “Zangezur Mining”, told “News” that he has no information about the arrest decision. “I assume he is securing a lawsuit in some case, I think we will find out later, there is still no information on the “Datalex” platform, with a 99% probability this was as a result of a new legal process against us, I have no idea about the rest… They were sued, demanded to apply security of claim, which was essentially applied,” Orbelyan conveyed. According to the latter, the prohibition of “Zangezur Mining” may be related to the dispute of some transactions, or to any compensation claim.
Before this arrest on the shares of “Zangezur Mining” and “AMP Holding”, by the decision of the court, a ban was also placed on the joint stock company “Industrial Company” which acquired 60 percent of Zangezur copper-molybdenum on September 30, the owner of which is Russian billionaire Roman Trotsenko. A ban was placed on Trotsenko’s share at Zurabov’s request. he considered illegal the acquisition of shares from the Zangezur copper-molybdenum combine and the transfer of 15 percent of it to the government. It was within the scope of this lawsuit that a lien was placed on Trotsenko’s share. As a matter of fact, 70 percent of the combine’s shares are currently under arrest as a result of various lawsuits.
“Zangezur Mining” wants to invest, is interested in expanding its activities, Orbelyan assures.
