Deputy Chairman of Heritage Party Armen Martirosyan has confirmed to ArmInfo the information that members of his party were offered bribes worth hundreds of thousands of USD before the May 5 municipal elections.
First time Martirosyan said it when detained by the police during an opposition rally on Apr 9.
Martirosyan refused to say who exactly offered the bribes. "I can only say that the offer was by the ruling regime," he said.
Meanwhile, article 335 of the Criminal Code of Armenia says that a person refusing to provide information about a serious crime he is aware of should pay a fine equal to 300-500 minimum wages or should be sent to jail for no more than two years.
