She noted that searches had been conducted in the Dashnaktsutyun offices in Vayk and Yeghegnadzor since the morning. According to her, the party's governing body members in these locations were detained.

The opposition politician further suggested that the regime is in a panic and will stop at nothing to hold on to power.
