ARMENIA'S RULING PARTY NOT EMPLOYMENT AGENCY - REP
- Hovhannes Sahakyan, a Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), member called absurd the press reports on the ruling party allegedly inviting its active members to work for fixed wage rates. "The Republican Party of Armenia is not an employment agency. The press reports are an instance of black PR," Sahakyan said. Numerous false reports should be expected on the threshold of parliamentary elections. Tert.am got in touch with the RPA office in Yerevan's Arabkir community. A woman confirmed the reports, but said that the applicants must reside in the same community. As regards the wage rates, she said that applicants have to arrive at the local RPA offices. In its March 16 issue, the Chorrord Inknishkhanutyun newspaper reported that Armenia's ruling party invited its active members to work for fixed wage rates.
