PanARMENIAN.Net – According to Haykakan Zhamanak daily, during
parliamentary elections, Orinats Yerkir party distributed plastic
cards, which turned out to be unusable, among voters.
`The plastic cards were supposed to provide a 20% discount at Yervan
medical center. Factually, those who accepted the cards, voted for
Orinats Yerkir. The voters were refused treatment at medical center
which denied signing any contract for service provision,’ the daily
said.
`In a conversation with Haykakan Zhamanak reporter, Orinats Yerkir
spokesman Harutyun Amiryan denied any knowledge of either cards or
Hayasa Foundation, although the charity foundation name was indicated
on plastic cards, and the foundation HQ are located in the same
building with Orinats Yerkir,’ the daily said.
