I have no reason to assume that the case was initiated after the recording of my conversation with Suren Papikyan, Gasparyan

Yes, I am still a member of the Civil Contract party. Former Echmiadzin Mayor Diana Gasparyan said this to reporters outside the court.

Responding to a journalist's question about whether she had a good relationship with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in the past, she noted that she did not want to answer that question, emphasizing that she would address everything when she finds it appropriate.

When asked whether the case was initiated after the infamous recording of her conversation with Suren Papikyan, Gasparyan stated that she is not a supporter of conspiracy theories.
“I have no basis or reason to make such assumptions. There is a lot to say about the allegations, I cannot respond in just a few words; a press conference will take place as promised, but during a few court sessions, some things need to be clarified, and a new press conference will be called. I also have a lot to present to the public,” she stated.

At this moment, the court hearing regarding the former mayor of Echmiadzin, Diana Gasparyan, continues. It is noteworthy that she has been charged with abuse of official authority and money laundering. The basis for the criminal proceedings was the publication by Hetq on December 5, 2023, titled “Diana Gasparyan’s mother-in-law has started illegal construction in Echmiadzin.”
