ArmInfo. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation around the Tsarukyan bloc about the refusal of 23 candidates from the mandates who declare that they did not write statements about self-withdrawal.
According to sources close to the bloc ArmInfo, in this regard, the president personally called Tsarukyan and demanded to regulate the situation, as it casts a shadow over the elections. In this context, Tsarukyan tried to exert pressure on those candidates who do not obey his will require their mandates. However, the situation got out of control when eleven of the twenty-three candidates submitted statements to the CEC about granting them a mandate.
To note, on the eve of the CEC, the list of candidates who defeated the mandate of the winning candidates was published, if in the case of the Republican Party and the ARF "Dashnaktsutyun" the situation was clear - those who intend to deploy activities in the executive branch refused from claims to seats in the parliament, Bloc Tsarukyan caused a lot of questions. In this list of 23 people were almost all the candidates who won through rating system, many of whom, as it turned out later, did not write applications for self-withdrawal.
