Strong Armenia bloc leader Samvel Karapetyan’s nephew, Narek Karapetyan, cast his ballot on Sunday morning in the parliamentary elections.
Narek Karapetyan is formally the top candidate on the Strong Armenia ticket, but the alliance has said that his uncle is its choice for prime minister if it wins a majority.
Speaking to reporters after casting his vote in his hometown of Tashir, Narek Karapetyan said that he voted for “major change and a revitalized Armenia.”
Asked what he voted for, he said:
“For an Armenia where Armenians are primarily engaged in rebuilding their country rather than harming one another, fighting among themselves, or living in constant confrontation. Let us rebuild our country and finally shake off this atmosphere of division. Let us make our country a strongly developing and powerful state—one that future generations can make even stronger, instead of facing the same problems again.”
Karapetyan also urged voters to take part in the election and cast their ballots.
A total of 2,005 polling stations opened at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday across Armenia for the parliamentary election. More than 70 media outlets are covering the polls, while 13 local and eight international organizations are conducting election observation missions.
