“On August 2, for example, [Deputy PM and Territorial Administration Minister] Armen Gevorgyan paid a visit to [several village] communities of Lori Region.
“[But] an eyewitness told Zhamanak that, several days before his visit, news was already circulating in the villages that the PM was coming.
“So few officials visit these remote villages that ‘cleaning’ had started in the villages with great fanfare, days before the deputy PM’s visit,” Zhamanak writes.
