According to "Kartsik" information, a clear political agreement is hidden behind the noisy acquittal of the former mayor of Gyumri, Vardan Ghukasyan. According to the data provided by our sources, the "resolution" of the criminal case against Ghukasyan is not exclusively a legal process, but the result of a deep and behind-the-scenes agreement with the authorities. The essence of the transaction is as follows: Vardan Ghukasyan has committed not to participate in the upcoming Gyumri Council of Elders (mayor) elections in any format, not to support any opposition force and to stay out of political processes in general. Instead, the authorities ensured his full acquittal and the end of the criminal prosecution. This is another clear proof of how the figures belonging to Robert Kocharyan's political wing or the "Kocharian" camp, who have been presenting themselves as uncompromising oppositionists for years, eventually come to a deal. At critical moments, they either become or start working and agreeing with the authorities of the day to ensure their personal and political security. It turns out that the government once again justifies its own people and those with whom it manages to get along. Law and justice work only for those who refuse political deals, and for those who make deals, charges are momentarily dismissed.
