SAMVEL BAGRATYAN STRUGGLES BY DEMOCRATIC METHODS
Support A1+!“The candidates and parties are not given equal opportunities in Vayots Dzor Marz,” Sergey Bagratyan, a member of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), running for the parliament in constituency 39, announced at the “Friday Club” today.
He informed the presentees that his rival Samvel Sargsyan, the marzpet (regional head) of Vayots Dzor and a member of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), has made numerous violations, starting from the usage of the RoA flag in the campaign posters, which is forbidden under the acting Electoral Code, to the abuse of marzpet's livers.
Sergey Bagratyan assesses his chances to be elected 100 per cent. On the whole, Sergey Bagratyan's press conference was rather cheerful. He didn't deny the fact that PAP and RPA are distributing flour in Vayots Dzor. In his opinion, the act pursues charity purpose; no votes are expected in return, though it might affect the voters' choice.
Mr Bagratyan didn't refute the fact that his proponents had beaten the co-workers of the tax department who were preaching in favour of the acting marzpet.
Then he addressed the audience, “What were they to do if a state official broke the law?” and immediately gave the answer, “surely, they were to combat by democratic methods.”
Sergey Bagratyan seemed content with the work of the police forces, National Security Service and Prosecutor's Office who have impartial approach to the incident.
