Even though the re-election of President Serzh Sargsyan appears to
be a foregone conclusion, the ruling Republican Party isn’t content
to passively sit by.
Party activists are busy in the regions outside Yerevan collecting
personal data of area residents for later use.
An employee of an agency operated by the Armavir Municipality told
this reporter that he had been handed a blank official form and was
instructed to collect the passport data of at least ten residents in
support of President Sargsyan.
The employee, who wished to remain anonymous, said he was threatened
with dismissal otherwise.
Sargis Movsisyan, Armavir Municipality Chief of Staff, told Hetq that
there are 500-600 people working for the town and that none had been
given such instructions.
“There is no such thing. That information is a lie,” Movsisyan said.
