Azat Ghukasyan, mayor of the village of Hartashen in the southern Armenian province of Syunik, was arrested Tuesday evening, reports Hetq Online, citing its source in the police force.
The news outlet was unable officially to confirm the news which it received after work hours, but the uncle of the 14-year-old girl allegedly raped by Ghukasyan said that an acquaintance also informed him the mayor was arrested.
Recall, Ghukasyan also teaches physical education at the local school. Late last month, several students claimed that Ghukasyan asked 14-year-old Karine (her name has been changed) to follow him to the gym. Gagik, Karine’s uncle, said this wasn’t the first time the teacher had singled out Karine, who has an intellectual disability.
