I guess I will be arrested, I don’t expect anything legal from any legal body, especially from this unquote independent body, so it is a process, we are all ready, everything is very good. Davit Ghazinyan, candidate of the “Strong Armenia” party, said this in a conversation with journalists in front of the CEC, talking about the motion to deprive him of his immunity under consideration at the CEC.

“All this is about nothing, it’s about the government’s fears, I have no expectations as such. Not overestimating my personality, but this is directed against both my activism and the activism of our political force,” he noted.

Referring to the recording, in which it was said: “Davo Ghazinyan gave 1,400,000 AMD to Arman”, Ghazinyan clarified that he assumed that Arman was a very close person to him.

“I didn’t give anyone any money, as for the recording, you can see, there is a cleaning lady in the main role, there is nothing legal here. There is no such money, I don’t know who gave it to whom, what they did, even if theoretically it was given, what does it mean: I entered the territory or gave money to someone, I said this is money for election bribes, that is absurd,” he emphasized.

It should be noted that today the CEC will discuss the issue of depriving Davit Ghazinyan of immunity from the candidate of the “Strong Armenia” party. Let’s remind that according to the RA Anti-Corruption Committee, factual information was received that officials of the pre-election office of Arabkir administrative district of the alliance and candidate Davit Ghazinyan bribed voters with a preliminary agreement with supporters. According to the circulating recording and examination data, it is claimed that “Davo Ghazinyan gave 1,400,000 (one million four hundred thousand) drams” in order to materially benefit the voters.
