Paper: coalition parties agree on electoral bribes amount

PanARMENIAN.Net - According to Zhoghovurd paper, the coalition parties have agreed during one of recent meetings on the amount of electoral bribes offered per a vote at the coming parliamentary elections.

The paper said leader of Orinats Yerkir party Artur Baghdasaryan asked heads of coalition parties to specify this issue fearing that the Prosperous Armenia party which is richer in terms of financial resources, may strive to offer larger bribes than others, thus causing troubles for the Republican Party of Armenia and especially the Orinats Yerkir.

As a result, the coalition decided to set AMD 10000 limit for electoral bribing.

Of course, secretary of the Prosperous Armenia Aram Safaryan refuted these rumors to the paper’s reporter saying “It is absolute nonsense; nothing of the kind ever happened and can ever happen”.

Still, the paper’s sources claim the agreement did take place.
