Now they are examining the written evidence, that is, the documents and the results of the secret operative-investigative measures, these are still the evidence presented by the prosecution. Aramais Hayrapetyan, the lawyer of Gyumri Mayor Vardan Ghukasyan, mentioned this today, on October 28, in a conversation with journalists in the courtyard of the court. "In this case, when we listen to the protocol and ask to publish the actual recording, in a number of cases there are contradictions in the protocol and the recording, that is, one thing is heard and another is recorded. The examining body says that we do not understand the word, but when we put it, it is understood and, moreover, specific names are given that are related to CP. Now we at least raise the question, was this not understood on purpose or was it really not understood? But those misunderstood parts have a very significant meaning. We remain of the same opinion that there is no evidence to support the criminal act of accepting and demanding bribes in the criminal case," he said. The defense attorney also mentioned that they raised the issue from the very beginning of the trial that if Vardan Ghukasyan together with Henrik Gasparyan demanded a bribe from Sevak Gomtsyan, why weren't those cases sent to the court together? "We have asked the pre-investigation body to provide all the materials of the criminal case, including the materials obtained during the investigation after Vardan Ghukasyan's case was sent to the court. However, all our petitions were rejected, and the criminal case regarding Henrik Gasparyan was later sent to the court separately. Now it turns out that two separate cases are being investigated regarding Vardan Ghukasyan, one of which he can participate due to his status, the other he cannot participate and it is not available to us whether in the other case, which is actually the same accused. It's what they don't give us," said Hayrapetyan. As for the fact that Vardan Ghukasyan was acquitted of one of the charges, Aramais Hayrapetyan said. "First of all, that verdict has not been received yet, only the verdict of acquittal has been published. There is also a phase of additional trials, after which the new court will issue a verdict. As of now, there is no verdict as such. In addition to that acquittal case, there are now three criminal cases, one is today's case, one is a property case dating back to the 2000s, and there is one case involving alleged police brutality that has been in the courtroom all over again. in front of his eyes.
