"DISTRIBUTING 10,000 DRAMS OUT IN THE OPEN"
- Social network users have been sounding the alarm about electoral bribes since last night. According to the users, citizens are being distributed electoral bribes costing up to 50,000 drams, particularly in Etchmiadzin and the nearby villages.
Social network users have also sounded the alarm about electoral bribes in the Avan and Davitashen districts of Yerevan and on the map for alarms during the parliamentary elections at iditort.am.
"People, if only you could see what is going on in our city, Etchmiadzin. All the headquarters of the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) are distributing 10,000 drams to citizens out in the open. The headquarters should have been closed at this hour or are usually closed, but there are lots of people gathered inside and outside the headquarters. There are even people telling citizens not to go to the elections and that they will take care of everything. It's embarrassing," quote from the Alarm Map website.
We remind that distributing electoral bribes is a punishable act for those who give and receive.
