actively participating in the ruling coalition's senior partner,
the Republican Party of Armenia's (RPA) campaigning for the upcoming
parliamentary elections, Zhoghovurd daily writes.
"He summoned for village prefects, police chiefs, and school principals
of the Amasia and Ashotsk counties, and instructed [them] to work,
at all costs, for the RPA and [the constituency's single-mandate]
MP candidate, RPA member Ashot Aghababyan.
