ArmInfo. A lawsuit for the confiscation of illegal property was filed against Gyumri Mayor Vardan Ghukasyan back in August 2024. Prior to that, another case from 2019 was sent to court within the framework of criminal proceedings.
This was stated by Prosecutor General of Armenia Anna Vardapetyan at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly of Armenia on State and Legal Affairs on April 25, while answering to a question raised by deputy Alkhas Ghazaryan from the "Civil Contract" that many are trying to link the legal processes around Ghukasyan with his recent election as mayor of Gyumri.
"There are two separate proceedings," Vardapetyan said. Thus, the case and lawsuit cannot be connected to Ghukasyan's recent political activity, she added.
