Such a thing could not happen in a legal state. Vardan Ghukasyan was invited many times for questioning and never once did the mayor refuse to go, which means that all this was to show and tell the people something. Ghukasyan's adviser Hovsep Simonyan said this in a conversation with journalists in the court yard.
"I am surprised by one thing that we do not even understand how tomorrow the earth will be destroyed, all this will lead to destruction tomorrow. Imagine law enforcement officials, who are supposed to uphold the law, were breaking those laws at the very last point.
They could have quietly invited the mayor, taken him and not created that whole show, if there were some things to clarify, they could have sent a notice, or the investigator would have come, invited, left, left. I was a freedom fighter myself, and if as many troops were brought to Gyumri, we could have reached Baku. I saw that the red berets had laid the fleeing minors on the floor," said the advisor.
According to Simonyan, he does not have high hopes that Vardan Ghukasyan will not be arrested. "He will probably come from the Vatican tomorrow to see that a person has been caught. That person is a vampire, he is thirsty for blood, he is thirsty for the blood of the Armenian people.
The reverend Vardan Ghukasyan was interfering with the 2026 elections, tomorrow I will interfere, they will take me away, and they will do these monkeys until the 2026 elections. I am sure that the image of Gyumri will be repeated in the parliamentary elections, we must correct our mistake, the time has come, there is no more room."
