Political assessment of the recording of the conversation will be  given when the results of the inspection of the Prosecutor`s Office  become known: MP

ArmInfo.A political assessment of the recording of the conversation will be given when the results of the investigation by the Prosecutor General's Office become known.   Artur Hovhannisyan, MP from the ruling "Civil Contract" faction,  stated this to journalists, commenting on the scandalous record with  the participation of the former and current heads of the Supreme  Judicial Council of Armenia Ruben Vardazaryan and Gagik Jhangiryan.

The MP noted that the ruling faction is concerned about the content  of this record, as well as the vocabulary used by the participants in  the conversation. He recalled that the RA Prosecutor General's Office  is studying this record, and a political assessment will be given  after the results of the check.

Hovhannisyan noted that the  authorities have been and will continue  to follow the path of restoring justice and legality, despite the  existence of difficulties and problems. "In this case, I urge you to  refrain from commenting and wait for the results of the inspections  conducted by the Prosecutor General's Office, only after that there  will be comments," the MP said, noting that the authorities exclude  the so-called "telephone justice" in their activities. "But,  unfortunately, there are still cases that require legal regulation.   It is possible that the issue will be discussed in the faction",  Hovhannisyan stressed.

The powers of Ruben Vardazaryan as the head of the Supreme Judicial  Council were suspended from April 15, 2021, and from June 20, 2022 -  terminated. On June 20, he convened a press conference in which he  presented to the public the recording of the conversation between  Vardazaryan, acting Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council Gagik  Jhangiryan and member of the Supreme Judicial Council Stepan  Mikayelyan was made public. The recording was made on February 20,  2021, which, according to Vardazaryan, demonstrates the political  motives of the criminal case initiated against him. On the same day,  the Prosecutor General's Office sent the record to the Investigative  Committee for study.
