ArmInfo. Candidate for deputies from the "Tsarukyan" electoral bloc Naira Zohrabyan does not exclude the initiation of post-electoral rally in case of falsification of the forthcoming parliamentary elections on April 2. She stated this  on the radio "Svoboda".

"If the elections are rigged and the voice of the people is not  heard, the Tsarukyan bloc will be where our people will be," she  said. At the same time Zohrabyan noticed that street fighting does  not presuppose bloodshed. "The post-electoral period assumes  completely different mechanisms than in 2015 (redacted by Tsarukyan  on the way out of big politics), when the government could go on  provocations and put all responsibility on Gagik Tsarukyan," she  noted.

Zohrabyan also believes that new electoral mechanisms exclude  falsifications at polling stations, therefore, the people's voice  will be decisive in these elections. "Our weapons are not a  Kalashnikov rifle, but the voice of a voter, through which this  authority will be overthrown," she said. At the same time, the  politician urged voters not to believe the statements of the  representatives of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia that they  control the whole electoral process.

To note, in the upcoming elections for the first time additional  mechanisms will be introduced to control the electoral processes. In  particular, electronic identification of voters will be carried out,  which excludes the possibility of a repeat vote. From the polling  stations, an online broadcast of the entire electoral process will be  carried out, including the counting of votes. In addition, the CEC  will publish the lists of voted citizens, which, in the opinion of  the opposition, excludes voting instead of persons absent from the  country. Also, 3500 people joined the initiative "Citizen Observer"  for the mission. In addition, four international organizations, the  Council of Europe, the PACE, the OSCE and the CIS Interparliamentary  Assembly will oversee the monitoring mission.
