YEREVAN. – Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP and businessman Samvel Aleksanyan distributed money during a capital city Yerevan restaurant banquet organized Monday in honor of the RPA, Zhoghovurd daily writes, referring to its well-informed sources.    

“Those in attendance told that the MP gave out the money in small bags and stated that it is intended for the workers at the polling stations of the Malatia-Sebastia Administrative Region [from where he was elected MP during the May 6 parliamentary elections], as an encouragement for good work.   

[But] We were unable to receive clarifications from Samvel Aleksanyan yesterday [Thursday]. His phone was inaccessible,” Zhoghovurd writes.
