The politician added that unlike parliamentary elections, now they have documents and videos proving the cases of vote-buying.

“We have evidence that the police under the leadership of Vova Gasparyan and, on the orders of Serzh Sargsyan, also participated in the process of bribing voters,” Nikol Pashinyan said.

He added that regardless of the results of the elections, the members of Yelk bloc do not plan to give up their mandates, as “no vote should be lost.”
