“CEC should take Republican Party to court”
People can lose their jobs simply for greeting me or standing close to me, said David Matevosyan, an opposition candidate running for parliament in single-mandate constituency N 37.
"I have never seen similar total pressure. They [authorities] are trying to intimidate people but people are not afraid, rather, they are wary. They are a burden and we need to get rid of that burden," Matevosyan said in the city of Meghri during a campaign meeting of the opposition Armenian National Congress (HAK).
The deputy candidate has requested the Central Election Commission to have Republican Party's posters removed from catering facilities in Agarak - a city in Syunik province.
"The posters are to be taken away within three days, otherwise the CEC should go to court to revoke Republican Party's participation in the May 6 vote," Matevosyan said reminding voters that they cannot be pressurized in voting booths.
