Party says Vardan Ghukasyan under supervision, not detained

The DOK party announced that Vardan Ghukasyan is under supervision but does not have detainee status.

The party emphasized its commitment to transparency, stating it had no intention to conceal information. Initially, they were informed that Vardan Ghukasyan's health was stable. However, further clarifications revealed that the information was incomplete. The party continues to communicate with all relevant parties to gather additional details and plans to release an official statement soon.

On the night of February 20-21, party leader Anush Khudaverdyan established contact with Vardan Ghukasyan, but communication ceased shortly after. Subsequent attempts revealed that Ghukasyan was unable to speak, requiring rest.

This situation has caused public concern due to the initial information not reflecting the true circumstances. The party also refuted circulating rumors that Ghukasyan had been subjected to violence, noting that the individual mentioned in those claims has denied any involvement in such incidents.

Earlier, the party stated that Vardan Ghukasyan's whereabouts had been unknown for six days.
