YEREVAN, May 5. / ARKA /. The Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Armenia (UIEA) has called on law-enforcement authorities today to change the measure of restriction against a well-known businesswoman Gohar Yenokyan.
The Special Investigation Service has officially confirmed today the detention of Gohar Yenokyan, a former member of the Armenian parliament and a well-known businesswoman.
