Photographs of Gagik Tsarukyan, president of the National Olympic Committee of Armenia, have been removed from the committee's building amid a criminal case, his party's electoral defeat, and a dispute over voting results. The 'Prosperous Armenia' party failed to enter parliament in the June 7 elections and challenged the results in the Constitutional Court. On June 9, Armenian prosecutors charged Tsarukyan with large-scale tax evasion and banned him from leaving the country. Additionally, on June 16, a court ordered the seizure of a land plot in Tsaghkadzor from the Olympic Committee, valued at approximately $100 million. It remains unclear when the photos were dismantled or by whose order.
