Exclusive Details: What Ruben Vardazaryan Told the Investigator
According to the "Zhoghovurd" newspaper, exclusive details have emerged regarding the process of Ruben Vardazaryan providing explanations at the Investigative Committee of Armenia, where he previously served as the President of the Supreme Judicial Council.
It became known to "Zhoghovurd" that the investigator of the committee recorded the conversation and posed specific questions related to it, particularly regarding what Vardazaryan meant when he stated that he would not go against his principles.
In response to these inquiries, Vardazaryan reiterated what he had publicly stated during a press conference on June 20. Additionally, the investigator asked questions that did not pertain to Vardazaryan himself, to which he replied that those inquiries should be directed not to him, but to Gagik Jhangiryan.
Essentially, Vardazaryan did not provide any additional information to the pretrial body; he communicated the same information he had shared during the June 20 press conference. This implies that Gagik Jhangiryan will also need to provide explanations to the committee in the near future, and whether he will go to the pretrial body remains to be seen as developments unfold.
It is worth recalling that during the press conference on June 20, a recording of a conversation with Gagik Jhangiryan, who is acting as the President of the Judicial Council, was published, revealing several intriguing episodes related to exerting pressure on the judicial system. Society and the professional community have largely focused on the insults and the fact of secret recording revealed in the audio, debating the merits and faults of both sides, while crucial questions seem to be left unaddressed.
