Law Enforcement Conducts Home Searches in Gyumri

Law enforcement officers in Gyumri, Armenia's second-largest city, conducted home searches targeting supporters of the Armenia (Hayastan) alliance on Tuesday. The operation represents the latest law enforcement action involving political opposition figures in the country. Hetq, an investigative news outlet based in Armenia, reported the searches without providing additional details on the stated grounds for the action or the number of homes visited. The Armenia alliance is a political bloc that has been active in Armenian politics and governance discussions. Home searches of political activists and party supporters have become a recurring point of contention in Armenia, with international observers monitoring law enforcement conduct during periods of political tension.
