People’s Party Chairman Tigran Karapetyan sure of his victory.

Armenia’s opposition People’s Party Chairman Tigran Karapetyan is confident he will be elected an MP during the country’s National Assembly (NA) elections on May 6. Karapetyan himself stated this during a discussion on Monday.

But he complained that the children were included in the pre-electoral public meetings and the people were forced to attend them at his constituency in the Ararat Region, and that the latter’s Governor was demanding that their nominee be elected into the NA.

“They have not yet sensed the “breath” of money [that is, election bribe], but they all wait for it,” Karapetyan said. Yet he expressed a conviction that he will win, nonetheless, because “he will take [good] care” of the people and their votes.

In his turn, the ruling coalition’s Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law) Party MP candidate Tigran Ghalechyan noted that he was nominated so the people could make the right distinction.
