It will be hard this time
The "Vernisaj" is packed with people every Sunday and this Sunday was no exception. "A1+" asked traders if they had managed to vote or if they were planning to go to the polls, yet a majority of them gave a negative response.
"If they call me and take me there, I will go," said Republican Mrs. Julia who sells old clothes at the "Vernisaj".
"Ask them about our deposits. I am 83 years old and am still selling old shoes and clothes to make ends meet. What elections are you talking about? Besides, who cares about what we have to say? They will elect their own mayor and president," said Mrs. Vardine.
"It depends on which party will pass. It is going to be hard this time because two wealthy parties are going against each other," said Kolya, who said that he and his son have been offered a garage if they join a party.
Either it was on purpose or by coincidence, but the sounds of duduk could be heard throughout the "Vernisaj" today. We asked one of the traders Armen why there were sounds of duduk and he said, laughing: "It is because of the elections."
"We're burying democracy and fair elections and I am even thinking about putting up a poster and laying a bouquet of flowers," said Armen who asked "A1+" to tape his pavilion without him in the scene. "I am part of the opposition. If they find out, they will take me to jail."
