We need to punish the authorities of Armenia, but with votes, not a hammer. This is what second President of Armenia, candidate of “Armenia” bloc for Prime Minster Robert Kocharyan said during today’s campaign meeting in the city of Ijevan of Tavush Province.

“The uniqueness of this election campaign is that the incumbent authorities aren’t talking about what they have done at all. They could care less about the people and being responsible for the people, and so we need to punish them, but with votes, not a hammer. We reject the authorities which delivered lands, brought misery and split the society,” he added.

According to him, it is necessary to ensure the mandatory presence of proxies at all polling stations in order to avoid electoral fraud.
