Alen Simonyan warned that some Russian TV programs are damaging Armenia-Russia relations and could be used as tools for interference in Armenia’s internal affairs. He further claimed that these broadcasts might be financed by Samvel Karapetyan, a pro-Kremlin businessman.
Karapetyan, who owns Tashir Holding connected to Gazprom and is also a major figure in Armenia’s electricity sector, is known as one of those supporting Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. He has recently been detained amid allegations related to a purported “coup attempt” in Armenia.
