Candidate: “False information has been spread”
Statement of the election headquarters of Vitali Balasanyan
"Today marks the end of the presidential election campaign in Artsakh. We deem it necessary to touch upon the spread of groundless rumors against Vitali Balasanyan and the attempts to discredit the presidential candidate.
In his meetings with voters, the head of the incumbent president's election headquarters had spread false information and defamation against Vitali Balasanyan, which goes to show that Sahakyan's administration is in panic. The election headquarters has continued the same strategy on social networks and some marginal presses.
We also condemn the cases of ripping Bako Sahakyan's pictures, as well as the dissemination of satiric photos of him in different buildings. Such acts are not appropriate and don't contribute to the formation of a political culture.
Vitali Balasanyan's election headquarters assures that during its campaign, Balasanyan and his supporters have led a correct and legitimate campaign by presenting the political platform, criticizing the country's current policy and suggesting changes.
We regret to state that our opponents weren't able to bring up any argument against the criticism and simply offended us and spread false information.
Today marks the end of the election campaign, and we are certain that Artsakh's wise people have been able to differentiate between the misinformation and the reality and will make a reasonable choice."
