PanARMENIAN.Net – Parliamentary candidate from Armenian National
Congress (ANC) and editor-in-chief of Haykakan Zhamanak paper
reiterated his challenge to his rival in N 7 constituency Samvel
Alexanyan for political debates.
“Let’s face each other. Samvel, you shouldn’t hide behind the backs
of women,” Nikol Pashinyan said commenting on the incident with
ANC representatives in Yerevan community of Malatia-Sebastia (N7
electoral district).
In this context, he noted with irony that “debates are not related
to import of sugar, fake vodka production and cheating the consumer.”

system Babken Galoyan was injured, candidates Gayane Arustamyan and
Zoya Tadevosyan were also assaulted.
ANC blames notorious tycoon RPA candidate Samvel Alexanyan who is
nominated in the 7th constituency, for the attack.
