Armenian PM’s former aide charged with pedophilia – report
YEREVAN – A sex scandal has arisen in Armenia involving Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian’s former aide who is accused of pedophilia, reports say.
Police investigators have established that Serob Ter-Pogosian’s victims were boys from low-income families who were lured with money.

"I have just been informed that my former adviser, owner of a mining company, member of the Public Council under the Police, holder of the Medal for Cooperation, Serob Ter-Pogosian, is accused of grave and indecent crimes. I can’t find the words to express my wrath," Sarkisian said.
He said he would be closely following the case, voicing confidence that all the culprits would be brought to book.
