The number of eligible voters in Avan community has increased by 4000 - Gayane Arustamyan.

Constituency #1 does not have 64180 voters as it is mentioned in the voters' register. The police gave exaggerated figures, journalist Gayane Arustamyan told a news conference on Wednesday.
"The number of eligible voters in the constituency has increased by 4000 as compared with the previous elections. Some 200 inaccuracies have been found in polling station 1/1. If we multiply it by 35 [the number of polling stations in the constituency], the overall number of voters will stand at 7000. But these 7000 voters shown on the voters' register do not exist in reality," said Mrs Arustamyan, who is running for parliament from this single-mandate constituency.

The constituency includes Avan community and part of Nor Nork district. Arustamyan's contenders at the election district are Stepan Safaryan (Heritage) and Ruben Hayrapetyan (Republican Party of Armenia, President of the Football Federation of Armenia).

Gayane Arustamyan today invited her Republican contender to a televised debate. In the fight against her main contender [Ruben Hayrapetyan], Mrs Arustamyan will use only one weapon - her Mother Tongue.

Speaking of her electoral campaign, the candidate said she would do house-to-house canvassing- she would knock at every door and speak to everyone.

Gayane Arustamyan, who is backed by the opposition Armenian National Congress, has opened only one sub-headquarters.
