Absolute power does not represent the interests of all voters, and Armenia needs a prime minister who is willing to make concessions. Karpis Pashoyan, a representative of the Bright Armenia Party (BAP), on Tuesday stated this during the party’s parliamentary election campaign meetings in Yerevan’s Ajapnyak and Kentron administrative districts.

In turn, BAP chairman Edmon Marukyan noted that Euronews was spreading information that was immediately adopted by Armenia’s pro-government media outlets. Accordingly, the leading party in the surveys is the ruling Civil Contract party, which will receive 65 percent of the vote in Sunday’s election. At the same time, businessman Samvel Karapetyan’s Strong Armenia bloc assures that it will garner 53 percent.

Marukyan noted that this mathematical discrepancy gives rise to reflection.

In addition, he called on the electorate of both aforesaid political forces to also vote for the BAP so that the Armenia “does not become a province.”

According to him, the game is dishonest, frivolous, and unfair towards small and not wealthy parties, and the Armenian authorities in general widely use administrative resources.
