The oppositionist gives up in front of electoral bribes of  authorities

ArmInfo. Levon Zurabyan, the Armenian National  Congress faction head, expressed his concerns regarding the fact that more than half of voters of upcoming  parliamentary elections could receive bribes and to vote for the  ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA).  This was stated   by him  on February 24 at the press conference  in Yerevan. 

Zurabyan thinks that the consensus reached between  the authorities  and the opposition regarding the additional tools of electoral  process control  and the online broadcasting of the whole electoral  process essentially decreases the probability of falsifications, and  in this respect the ruling party has no option other than to  launch  electoral bribery. According to him, he has also heard the whispers  saying that Mihran Pogosyan, the Ex  Court Decisions  Enforcement  Entity head in implementing bribery - per USD 100 for each voter. In  his opinion, the opposition should  launch a large work to prove the  negative consequences of electoral bribery. Otherwise, the   opposition will face a fiasco, the politician states. 

The politician could not make a forecast what the results of April  elections will be3. Moreover, according to him,  under the conditions  of large scaled electoral corruption,  the situation becomes so  unpredictable that  no any political power, including the ruling  party of RPA, could not be sure of its victory. In this context  Zurabyan did not rule out that Armenian National Congress and the  People party of Armenia  will be found unable to bass the 7%  threshold.
