The statements made against Gagik Tsarukyan in the mass media are absolute slander and cheap tricks, and the party’s legal team is already preparing lawsuits against the authors of those publications. Iveta Tonoyan, the press secretary of “Prosperous Armenia” party leader Gagik Tsarukyan, announced this in a conversation with journalists on July 21.
According to him, some people are trying to “dig up” years-old baseless stories in order to attack the reputation of a politician through loud headlines. “We are dealing with the product of a sick imagination. people who only three years ago diligently participated in the contest for the statue of Jesus Christ, now come up with fabricated statements, for each of which they will answer in court,” Tonoyan emphasized. He noted that the arrest and detention of the leader of the party do not have any legal basis and are exclusively political pressure and the decision of the authorities to get rid of the opponents.
Iveta Tonoyan also assured that the “Prosperous Armenia” party will continue to play an active role in the political life of the country, despite the mandates stolen from it in the parliament. “Although our supporters and employees are threatened and pressured not to go to protests, our team is united and will continue to fight against the existing injustice,” Tsarukyan’s press secretary concluded.
