Employees of the operative investigation and investigative departments of the State Revenue Committee have found out that citizen of Yerevan Garegin Vanoyan had prepared phony brandies labeled "Tonakan", "Akhtamar" and "Nairi" at his home.

According to the Department of Information and Public Relations of the State Revenue Committee adjunct to the RA Government, "he managed to sell his products for 58,000 drams near the Gum market, but at the moment when he thought it was a done deal, he was revealed by operative investigators".

The investigative department of the State Revenue Committee has instigated a case under Article 207 (1) of the RA Criminal Code. The operative investigators helped reveal that the home entrepreneur didn't work alone.

His partner was citizen of Yerevan Armen Kocharyan, who prepared the polyethylene covers of the brands. A search at their home showed that if this wasn't prevented, a large number of phony brandies would be in the markets and would be sold at a high price.
