Was Paytyan fired for supplying buffalo meat?

In the beginning of this week by the decree of President Serzh Sargsyan, Lieutenant-General Arshaluis Paytyan was dismissed from his post as deputy to the chief commander of RA Armed Forces. According to our information his dismissal was connected with the latter’s involvement in the famous case of supplying buffalo meat for the army. According to our sources, Paytyan was informed in winning the tender of shipping outdated buffalo meat from Brazil.

According to our information, a company that had been cooperating with General Paytyan was considered the winner of the bid. The company imported buffalo meat that didn’t look any different than beef. By the way, well-informed sources assure that as a result of lab tests the truth was unveiled whereas as we mentioned because as we mentioned externally the buffalo meat doesn’t look any different from beef. Let’s also mention that the buffalo meat with its calories almost a hundred times is lower than beef.

According to certain information, however, Paytyan will avoid criminal responsibility because he virtually doesn’t have any connection with the importing company. He supervised this “operation” in the status of the “boss.” By the way, they also say that a few high-rank officials of defense ministry have been involved in this case. Yesterday our reporter also spoke with the head of the public relation department of defense ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan. The latter also mentioned that he wouldn’t be able to comment on our information. As of the question what the results of lab inspections are he advised us to address our questions to the investigative department, which is in charge of examining the case.
