“Hraparak” daily writes:
Yesterday, the members of the Communist Party carried out a fierce campaign against the two women of the “Strong Armenia” party, who were detained the previous day, in order to discredit them as much as possible and to present the force founded by Samvel Karapetyan as distributing electoral bribes. They were live and taking notes, making announcements from the NA podium.
And although the opposition women’s lawyers declare that it is a fabricated proceeding, there are reports that the government deliberately made such a noise and is going to repeat it in the near future, so that it can create grounds for not registering “Strong Armenia”.
Article 19 of the Electoral Code prohibits during pre-election campaigns, as well as before and on the day of the election, candidates, parties participating in the elections… to promise drams, food, securities, goods or to provide services. The Electoral Code has established a clear procedure that in case of reports of electoral bribery, the CEC can apply to the court to reject the registration of the given party.
Therefore, they decided to make noise so that Pashinyan’s henchman Vahagn Hovakimyan would have grounds to appeal to the court.
