Zhoghovurd daily’s correspondent asked NKR presidential candidate
Vitaly Balasanyan whether President Bako Sahakyan distributed
electoral bribes.

“They bribed voters by renovating citizens’ homes and streets. We
have information that they bribed taxi drivers by filling up taxis
with gas…

“I have done my best, I have fought for the sake of my people. I think
the people will make the right choice. I am confident that I will win,”
Balasanyan said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
