"Barev, Yerevan" ("Hello, Yerevan") bloc has no intention to bribe
voters and falsify the upcoming elections to the Elders' Council
of Yerevan, parliamentarian from Heritage opposition party Zaruhi
Postanjyan told media, Wednesday.
She said that the parties bribing voters are unable to do anything
else. "This time they will not manage to buy votes, because the
citizens have become more conscientious and bribes insult them,"
she said. Postanjyan said that it is immoral taking advantage of the
heavy social economic situation in the country and using the votes
of citizens under pretence of charity.
Earlier, Mass Media reported that under pretence of charity Orinats
Yerkir Party distributes condensed milk and honey to bribe voters.
Reportedly, Prosperous Armenia has provided free of charge buses for
Avan- Ararat Cinema route. Secretary of the party Tigran Urikhanyan
did not refute the reports and said kidding that Gagik Tsarukyan Fund
has been engaged in charity for already 250 years.
Zaruhi Postanyan highly appreciated the chances of the bloc for
victory in the upcoming elections and said that the bloc will get
majority of seats in the Elders' Council. She said that the incidents
of April 9 and the high rating of Raffi Hovannisian cannot affect
the results of the elections, because this will be the choice of the
Yerevan citizens. "We will bring Yerevan back to the citizens. And
the conscientious citizens will give their votes to us," she said.
Prosperous Armenia, Orinats Yerkir, the Republican Party of Armenia,
the Armenian National Congress, ARFD, Mission and Barev Yerevan will
run for 65 seats in Yerevan's Elders Council on May 5. The election
campaign kicked off on Apr 7.
