RPA MP: electoral bribe rumors aim to spread distrustApril 18, 2012 - 16:04 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Talks on electoral bribes do not target this or that political force, but rather aim to breed distrust towards the election system in general, Artak Zakaryan, MP of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) running for the parliament by proportional system, said on April 18. Commenting on opposition candidate Nikol Pashinyan’s recent election meetings, he said he did not rule out that it was the other party that sparked the intrigue. Zakaryan, however, did not detail what he meant to say. “I urge our citizens not to yield to incitements, because some political forces resort to such moves attempting to create tensions and intrigues in the election campaign,” he noted.
