"Zhoghovurd" daily writes: "A new scandal was registered at the November 12 meeting of the ruling "Civil Agreement" party board.
According to the exclusive information of "Zhoghovurd" daily, at the session of the KP board held on Tuesday, during which the situation of anarchy created in Gyumri was discussed, Nikol Pashinyan unexpectedly attended the board meeting, deputy of the KP faction, potential candidate for the mayor of Gyumri, Karen Sarukhanyan, accompanied by a trusted doctor and his security guard. He will be sent for a drug test.
Prior to this session, on November 10, it became public knowledge that Varuzh Khojumyan, the uncle of NA CP MP Karen Sarukhanyan, and his friend, Pargev Gevorgyan, a member of the CP faction of the Gyumri Council of Elders, were arrested on suspicion of possession and use of drugs. It is noted that the uncle of Karen Sarukhanyan, Varuzh Khojumyan, is an economic employee of the children's department of "Gyumri" MC, as well as a member of the board of Gyumri KP territorial organization. and he announced the other day that he was leaving the ruling party in order not to leave a mark on the CP.
But let's continue with the details of the remarkable session of the CP Department. "Zhoghovurd" daily managed to find out that Pashinyan received information from some circles that Karen Sarukhanyan also has something to do with drugs. that's why Pashinyan decided to find out the truth in a surprise way, through his trusted people.
According to informed sources of "Zhoghovurd" daily, Sarukhanyan went with a doctor and a security guard, and those present did not know what the result was, whether traces of drugs were found or not. It is only known that the CP is making efforts to postpone the elections in Gyumri.
The "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper also addressed the NA deputy Karen Sarukhanyan regarding this issue, who, although he gave evasive answers, did not deny all the information we had, which we addressed to him in the form of a question.
"I do not have the right to tell any information from the closed session of the department.
I don't know who gave that information, let them publish it, so we know who took the information out of the closed session," said Sarukhanyan.
Karen Sarukhanyan answered the question of "Zhoghovurd" daily, what decision was made by the CP administration when the new elections will be held. "As Vahagn Aleksanyan, the vice-president of the CP party, stated, there are gaps in the legal field, which are being worked on."
In other words, the deputy, as number one on the pre-election list of the future election campaign, is not interested in the reputation of his party or its relation to drugs, but who gives information to the "Zhoghovurd" daily from the party's closed session. CP's only concern is that."
