    YEREVAN, AUGUST 15, NOYAN TAPAN. A number of citizens who visited
    recently the office of "Heritage" party expressed their concern about
    the mass distribution of electoral bribes - by means of collection of
    citizens' passport data - by Albert Yeritsian, a possible candidate for
    the post of head of Yerevan's Arabkir community. The newly-appointed
    member of the RA Central Electoral Commission (CEC) from "Heritage"
    party Hovsep Khurshudian informed the head of the RA police Alik
    Sargsian and the head of the RA National Security Service Gorik
    Hakobian about it in his open letter of August 15. Copies of the
    letter were sent to the prime minister Tigran Sargsian and the head
    of the RA president's control service Hovhannes Hovsepian.

    According to H. Khurshudian, various citizens who came to the office
    of "Heritage" told them that the heads of several hospitals and
    polyclinics that are located in Arabkir community and are under
    the jurisdiction of Yerevan mayor's office have instructed the
    residents of Arabkir district who work at these medical institutions
    to secure certain number of voters in favor of A. Yeritsian and
    prepare respective lists with passport data. The employees of these
    institutions were threatened to be dismissed if they do not carry
    out these instructions.

    Taking into account the fact that the above mentioned actions
    represent gross violations of the Electoral Code, H. Khurshudian
    requested to use the necessary punitive measures in order to prevent
    cases of administrative pressure on voters, distribution of electoral
    bribes, other electoral violations at the pre-election stage and in
    the preceding period, and to reveal and punish those guilty.
