Preliminary voting results caused panic and decadent sentiment among  the majority of race participants.

Preliminary voting results caused panic and decadent sentiment among  the majority of race participants.

ArmInfo. The ruling "My Step" bloc positively assesses the voting process, the MP candidate from the bloc Hrach Hakobyan said in an interview with ArmIfno.

Referring to the low turnout, he explained this by saying that people  had stopped carrying people to polling stations on microbuses and  that ''dead souls'' had ceased to vote. "We very much hope that the"  My step "bloc will overstep the 70% barrier", Hakobyan stressed.

In turn, Acting First Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia, a candidate  for MP from the "My Step" bloc, Ararat Mirzoyan does not at all  consider that turnout was low this year. "Actually, the turnout was  neither high nor low. There is a lot of talk in social networks that  the actual number of voters, that is, those who are in the country,  is much less than the percentage that was previously represented  after the elections. In addition, also were very deplorable weather  conditions - it was raining. Well, you should not forget that in a  free democratic society there is no very high voter turnout",Mirzoyan  assured.

MP from the "We" bloc, Angela Khachatryan, qualified the voting  process as "normal". "Voting went quite normally, without any  irregularities. As for the turnout, I want to note that it is not so  low. The fact is that people stopped bringing people to the polling  stations at microbuses. I really hope that our voters expressed their  political will, and the "We" bloc will be properly represented in the  National Assembly", Khachatryan concluded.

Gevorg Gorgisyan, who is a candidate for the "Enlightened Armenia"  party, also appreciated the "normal" voting process. "Voting went  well, in any case, better than voting in the elections of 2017. I  hope that we will take second place in the Armenian parliament",  Gorgisyan said.

Gevorg Petrosyan, a candidate for MP from the "Prosperous Armenia"  Party, said that turnout is low, since the emigration rate has  increased significantly. He also explained the low turnout by  disappointment of people and the absence of any intrigue. It is  noteworthy that the PPA did not want to evaluate the voting process  at all, as well as predict their outcome. However, ArmInfo sources in  the party say that the "prosperous" are so disappointed with the  preliminary results of the voting that they don't even want to talk  about it. "Decadent mood prevails in the party", the source notes.

A similar situation is also in the ARF "Dashnaktsutyun".  "Dashnaktsutyun" members also avoid commenting on various "good"  pretexts.

Not better things in the Republican Party. As a source told ArmInfo  in the RPA, the results of the voting in the regions are simply  discouraging. "In the capital, they didn't go anywhere, but in the  regions things are just awful, but let's hope that at the expense of  votes in the capital, it will be possible to get about 7% of the  votes," the source hoped. Officially, the outcome of the vote from  the RPA agreed to comment on only 9 number of the list of Menua  Harutyunyan, stating that the entire election campaign of the  authorities was built antipire against RPA.

 "In fact, Nikol Pashinyan does not want to see us in parliament; he  doesn't need a real opposition, which will raise important issues.  Many representatives of the RPA, who were village elders and mayors,  left the party during the election campaign. I think the  administrative resource is used, and when the authorities change, and  the environment of fear disappears, they will be able to tell  everyone about it. As for voter turnout, which was less than 50%, I  want to emphasize that Pashinyan's next lie suffered a fiasco. He  insisted that the number of voters would be unprecedented, but this  did not happen. It became obvious that he was a very mediocre  politician, who came to power only because of luck. For this, he  postponed the elections from May to December", Harutyunyan said.
