ArmInfo.USA Embassy in Armenia responded to the recording made at SAS Group meeting, during which the workers were forced to vote for the ruling Republican Party and the Head of the company Artak Sargsyan.
"Following the recent parliamentary election, the U.S. and other international organizations issued a statement noting that the electoral process was tainted by credible information about vote-buying and pressure on voters. In that statement, we urged the Armenian government, political parties, and civil society to work together to address these concerns through legal mechanisms, and we thus welcome the announcement today by the Prosecutor General that he is investigating the troubling report just published by Hayastan24. A credible and transparent investigation of this kind would be in line with the Prime Minister's February 9 warning against the use of administrative resources. We trust that the government will ensure there is no retaliatory action against any individual or organization that comes forward with credible information for investigation", USA Embassy statement reads.
To note, on April 13 a record from SAS Group meeting was spread in Internet, where unknown person forced the workers to present voters list, who will vote in Arabkir for the head of the company Artak Sargsyan. At that, the unknown person also humiliated and mocked the workers, who rejected to work for Sargsyan. Moreover, he threatened them to fire, and the workers who would manage to get maximal number of votes, he promised to send for a holiday to Paris. Despite all the records do not show the name of the Dictator, but according to ArmInfo's proved information, it was Artak Sargsyan's brother, co owner of the company Aram Sargsyan.
