ArmInfo. The elections in Gyumri and Parakar only further validate Armenia's democratic progress, as stated by the RA Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, Narek Mkrtchyan, to journalists on March 31. According to him, both the government and authorities must take into account and respect the votes of voters. "If a person has decided to provide his or her vote for a particular political force, this vote must be respected," the Minister said.
He added that there are no zones of influence in the Republic of Armenia, just as there are no individuals who have levers of influence in region X. "Moreover, we are confident that we will win the parliamentary elections in 2026. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to more effectively implement the previously approved programs," Narek Mkrtchyan said.
