Threats of Hrant Bagratyan on Establishment of Nuclear Bomb Get Outlines

Yerevan / 18.05.16 / Turan-ArmInfo: For the attempt of illegal sales of uranium in Georgia a cousin of the Armenian MP Arakel Movsisyan (Shmays), participant of the Karabakh war Mihran Poghosyan was arrested. This is reported by Armenian media.

Earlier, the Georgian Security Service reported on the detention of six citizens of Georgia and Armenia, which tried to sell the batch of uranium-238 worth $ 200 million. The Security Service did not say where the band took the uranium and whether they have a specific buyer for a radioactive substance. As said security investigator Saul Motiashvili, a container for transportation of uranium-238 was found in the apartment of one of the detainees. "In view of the gamma-ray and radiological examination, the seized substance is dangerous to life and health," he said. Tbilisi City Court has appointed the detainees in custody. They face up to 10 years in prison.

Apparently, the said uranium was somehow taken out of Armenia, namely from Metsamor.

At the time, the Armenian authorities froze the work of the NPP and apparently took the uranium fuel. Apparently, the Armenians have seriously considered the possibility of creating a "dirty" nuclear bomb, saving the uranium. That is evidenced by the recent statement by former Prime Minister of Armenia Hrant Bagratyan about the presence of atomic weapons at the Armenians.

The recent attempt to smuggle uranium from Armenia was further evidence and confirmation that the fuel uranium was stolen from nuclear power plants.

It is also noteworthy that this criminal business involves a former militant who fought in Karabakh and his brother.

An informed military source told Turan Arakel Movsisyan was the commander of one of the most combat-ready battalion with a task to capture Terter and reach Yevlakh in 1994. However, the Special Forces Battalion under the command of Eldar Aghayev stopped and defeated the battalion of Shmays. -02B-
