They will not tell that if they get your vote, they will give free gas and electricity to the people, will not say that young people won’t be drafted to the army. They will promise things they can deliver. They will say that every day our country will make a step forward.” Read also:Four parties, five alliances to run for Armenian parliamentary seats Top stories The Cabinet of Ministers decided on Thursday, November 9 to allocated AMD 120 million to arrange the gathering.
