Head of Jrashen community Artyom Ghazaryan confirmed the information
of lragir.am that gas pipes brought to the village before the
presidential poll have been taken back. He said though that they were
taken from the village not because Heritage party leader Raffi
Hovannisian got more votes there than the incumbent president, but
because of size issues.
“As far as the size of the pipes was bigger than needed, they were
taken and new ones will be brought,” he said.
Ghazaryan also refuted the information as if the villagers tried to
block the road not letting the cars take the pipes. According to media
outlets, the workers in the cars shouted at people, “You have elected
Raffi, so let him come and connect your village to gas network.”
“I was there myself. They were just workers. What could they say? I do
not think the pipes were taken because of it, it is just the matter of
sizes,” he said.
The head of the village also said the pipes were not brought to the
village for electing Serzh Sargsyan, it was in pre-electoral program.
