Pashinyan: Obstructing election campaigning in Armenia has no  prospects

ArmInfo.Obstructing election campaigning in Armenia has no prospects, as stated by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during a government session in the National Assembly on November 12, in response to a question from Alkhas Ghazaryan, a member of parliament from the ruling Civil Contract  faction.

The MP, particularly, mentioned the pre-election situation in the  enlarged community of Vagharshapat, where, according to him, the  brother and nephew of Ktrich Nersisyan (Catholicos of All Armenians  Karekin II) were arrested and charged with obstructing election  campaigning in the community. In this regard, Pashinyan noted that,  unfortunately, the country lacks mechanisms for assessing the impact  of obstruction of campaigning or the distribution of election bribes  on election results. In Gyumri, for instance, a case of election  bribes was reported, but no one can assess the impact of these bribes  on the election results. The Prime Minister called for the  consideration of such mechanisms.
