“I ask you to honestly answer, do you accept vote-buying as a factor of influence? Do you accept it as an influence factor during the parliamentary and municipal elections?” “Yelq” MP Artak Zeynalyan asked this question to the Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan during the discussion of the government program in the Parliament.
The PM answered: “Well, we should shape a culture of speaking with evidence and for me, as a Prime Minister not to interfere in the field of law and legal bodies. From the political perspective, I treat vote-buying very badly. Whether facts have been in place or not, I do not simply have an instrument, a basis to assess it.”
He urged, if there is evidence, send them to the relevant bodies.
