The mayor of Gyumri is reportedly facing escalating political measures from national authorities, according to a statement released by the Communist Party faction in the city’s Council of Elders.
The statement claims that recent actions against the mayor represent a continuation of political targeting, pointing to what it describes as a public call from the National Assembly for the mayor’s removal from public life. This declaration, the document asserts, carries implications beyond mere political consequences.
The Communist Party’s declaration references a pattern during the current administration where individuals expressing disagreement with government policies have faced repercussions, including imprisonment. The statement characterizes this as systematic action against dissenting voices operating under the guise of democratic governance.
The document also draws attention to a previous assassination attempt against the mayor in 2007 and suggests that recent police actions represent the implementation of directives issued by the country’s leadership.
The statement concludes by indicating it remains open for endorsement by other political factions within the Gyumri municipal council, framing the situation as a concerning development in the city’s political landscape.
