Vardan Ghukasyan's defense team released a statement, which we present below.
"Vardan Ghukasyan should be released a minute ago, if the competent authorities have at least minimal respect for the law, because in the proceedings in which he was arrested, there is a new decision by the investigator on choosing a combination of alternative means of disruption from 10.21.2025.
The relevant petitions have been sent to the relevant entities since yesterday (as of our knowledge) but still remain unanswered.
Vardan Ghukasyan's defense team declares that the latter has been in prison illegally since 21.10.2025, that is, from the moment the new decision was made."
