Armenia’s Police investigates obstruction of opposition bloc MP candidates’ election campaign.

The opposition bloc Armenian National Congress’ (ANC) MP candidate Violeta Petrosyan called the Police, on Friday at 5:10pm, informing that unidentified people had obstructed her election campaign in the capital Yerevan at around 2:20pm.

She informed the police officers, who arrived on the scene, that 7-8 average-age men had approached her while she was distributing campaign material to the residents, and yelled at her and demanded that she leave. As a result, the election campaign had stopped, Police Press Service informs.

Measures are undertaken to find the aforementioned men, and an investigation is launched.
