Bagratian: I would impose income tax on vote bribes
Monday,
February 18
The presidential candidate Hrant Bagratian along with his wife and
daughter voted at the polling station No 4/27 located in the Yerevan
school # 148 after Galshoyan.
After voting, Bagratian spoke to the reporters, saying that he has
voted for a new Armenia, whose building will start sooner or later.
`Armenia that we have now has exhausted itself and can no longer
develop,' Bagratian noted.
According to him, yesterday they were informed about vote bribes and
election violations. He said many calls were received from the city of
Stepanavan where violations were recorded.
When asked what he will do in case of his victory or defeat, Bagratian
said that if elected, he will plan a detailed schedule. He said he
does not think he will suffer a defeat. `Yet massive bribes
distributed in villages are disappointing,' he added.
In his words, the chief thing is fair elections, regardless of who
will win the election.
Speaking about his potential voters, Bagratian said his electorate is
made up of intellectuals, romantics, older people, and - to a smaller
extent - of youths and nationalists.
In the words of H. Bagratian, Serzh Sargsyan does not share his ideas
of Armenia's model and he has said that.
`I would support a revolution currently as well so that all this would
change, but what I have said is more radical,' he noted.
When expressing his opinion about those who take vote bribes,
Bagratian said 5,000 AMD will not change anything in their lives.
He humorously remarked that he would impose an income tax on vote bribes.
