"Yerkir": Republicanization continues.

The paper says it has learned from sources that the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) has started an active process of enrolling new members.

Over the past week, the staff of the Yerevan City hall has been reportedly forced to join the ruling political force as there has been a strict instruction to increase the members’ number in the run-up to the parliament election.

The paper claims employees often face a dilemma whether to lose their jobs or join the RPA. Citing its sources, it says further that many of them had to agree to the latter option, though the decision to do so was not reportedly easy for them.
