Armenia-based Heritage member Stepan Safaryan faces election campaign problems.

Armenian opposition Heritage Party made a statement regarding Heritage candidate Styopa Safaryan’s campaign prevention in election district number 1. “The pre-election headquarter of Heritage MP candidate by the majority system Styopa Safaryan received information on Monday that his pre-election campaign in Avan District is prevented. Styopa Safaryan who arrived at the scene at 1.00 p.m. witnessed himself how a group of people was trying to prevent the campaign. A woman from RPA was collecting Styopa Safaryan’s and Heritage booklets even after she was warned. The MP himself saw the booklets in RPA’s pre-election headquarter. At around 2.00 p.m. around 30 RPA activists gathered at 3rd street and started chanting offenses against Styopa Safaryan. Styopa Safaryan reported to the police. Styopa Safaryan and his campaign members continued their campaign,” the statement read.

The parliamentary elections will be held from 8 am to 8 pm on May 6, 2012.
