It’s time to protect our city and our dignity: Vardan Ghukasyan

It’s time to protect our city and our dignity, reads a statement published on the Facebook page of Gyumri Mayor Vardan Ghukasyan.

“Proud and just people of Gyumri,

It’s time to protect our city and our dignity. At this moment, actions are underway in the mayor’s office aimed at removing the mayor. But we must understand—this is not just about one person; it concerns the independence of the entire city.

The state must not violate Gyumri’s autonomy. We, the people of Gyumri, have a duty to uphold our right to elect and protect our mayor.

Join us, speak out, do not remain silent. Gyumri is strong because of its people,” Ghukasyan writes.
