Naira Zohrabyan: Our weapon is not Kalashnikov assault rifle, but  voter`s voice 

ArmInfo. Candidate for deputies from the "Tsarukyan" electoral bloc Naira Zohrabyan does not exclude the initiation of post-electoral rally in case of falsification of the forthcoming parliamentary elections on April 2. She stated this 

on the radio "Svoboda".

"If the elections are rigged and the voice of the people is not 

heard, the Tsarukyan bloc will be where our people will be," she 

said. At the same time Zohrabyan noticed that street fighting does 

not presuppose bloodshed. "The post-electoral period assumes 

completely different mechanisms than in 2015 (redacted by Tsarukyan 

on the way out of big politics), when the government could go on 

provocations and put all responsibility on Gagik Tsarukyan," she 

noted.

Zohrabyan also believes that new electoral mechanisms exclude 

falsifications at polling stations, therefore, the people's voice 

will be decisive in these elections. "Our weapons are not a 

Kalashnikov rifle, but the voice of a voter, through which this 

authority will be overthrown," she said. At the same time, the 

politician urged voters not to believe the statements of the 

representatives of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia that they 

control the whole electoral process.

To note, in the upcoming elections for the first time additional 

mechanisms will be introduced to control the electoral processes. In 

particular, electronic identification of voters will be carried out, 

which excludes the possibility of a repeat vote. From the polling 

stations, an online broadcast of the entire electoral process will be 

carried out, including the counting of votes. In addition, the CEC 

will publish the lists of voted citizens, which, in the opinion of 

the opposition, excludes voting instead of persons absent from the 

country. Also, 3500 people joined the initiative "Citizen Observer" 

for the mission. In addition, four international organizations, the 

Council of Europe, the PACE, the OSCE and the CIS Interparliamentary 

Assembly will oversee the monitoring mission.
