There has been a publication in the press today that the Rule of Law Party (RLP) hands out bribe in the community of Erebuni. According to “CHI,” the election bribe is handed out mainly among the retired and it was said as if the neighborhood administration of Erebuni was providing social help to old people. Whereas Eduard Madatyan (Khuchuch Edo), who, as we know, will be in the first places of the RLP list, coordinates the work of the RLP in the community of Erebuni. The RLP handed out the RLP calendars, two bags of Hayler coffee, a bottle of Hayasi vodka and a bottle of natural juice in the community of Erebuni. The RLP handed out the same goods at the threshold of the New Year in different communities and the representatives of the party claimed at the time that they had handed those out exceptionally among their fellow party members and had given it not as election bribe, but as a New Year gift.
Aravot.am did not manage to have this information confirmed, so to say, first hand, from Eduard Madatyan. He was unreachable. RLP faction leader Heghine Bisharyan was insulted by our question, instead, “Oh my god, oh my god, what a lie, what a lie! Firstly it is not the time for election bribe today; secondly it doesn’t correspond to the reality at all.” We inquired whether they would hand out, when it was the time. Heghine Bisharyan responded, “The RLP has never been guided, will not be guided by election bribe and it isn’t doing any such thing at the moment. If they do something, does it mean it is a bribe?” We also inquired whether the New Year gifts had been many and there was a problem with realizing those now, “District offices of our party have congratulated the families of our party members. I don’t see any problem here and I don’t know where those false things are spread from.” As for realizing those, she responded “You know what it is like, as if one asks another ‘Was the bread in your house much and you ate also the next day?’ How would I know? I say it is a lie, there is no such thing, has it become more or has it become less… Nothing becomes less in our party, everything is much. Our party is full of everything 12 months a year. However, at the moment, no such thing is happening; it is a lie and doesn’t correspond to the reality.”
