“Prosperous Armenia” trying to buy seats from “Heritage”?
"Heritage" party representative Zoya Tadevosyan told "A1+" today that one of the coalition parties is making offers to purchase the seats of "Heritage" in the electoral commissions. According to her information, the prices range.
"They have offered to pay nearly 10,000 dollars for polling stations 18 and 19. The prices and conditions range. The members of the 13th electoral commission told me that they had received an offer."
Tadevosyan is certain that it will be possible to prevent the strategy of one of the coalition parties technically, through loyalty and people who expect nothing in return.
"As a rule, the member of the electoral commission at the precinct forms the list of members of the polling station commission. I am in charge of that and to make sure our list makes it there, Hovsep Khurshudyan and I will submit it together," said Tadevosyan.
Tadevosyan says that "Heritage" needs 430 honest and uncorrupt people to win in the Yerevan city council elections.
"There are nearly 430 polling station commissions in Yerevan. We are going to engage people for whom the elections are an honor," said Zoya Tadevosyan. She doesn't exclude including ANC members in the commissions.
Zoya Tadevosyan refused to inform "A1+" which coalition party is trying to buy the seats of "Heritage" and hoped that this would stop after her statement.
She believes that the attempts to buy the seats from "Heritage" go to show that the pro-government parties are working in favor of more than one candidate, but she is sure that the government parties will later unite around the one Republican candidate. Although Tadevosyan decided not to announce the name, but there are rumors flying around about "Prosperous Armenia" party.
"The "Prosperous Armenia" party has never applied such techniques. We don't work that way and I deny all the rumors," told "A1+" "Prosperous Armenia" member Naira Zohrabyan.
She also denied the rumors that there will come a point when the coalition parties will work together and will unite around the one Republican candidate.
"We are working in favor of our candidate, our proportional list and only for our platform." Zohrabyan believes that the "Prosperous Armenia" candidate has very high chances of winning in the elections.
