RPA records its supporters at a school, paper says

Management of Yerevan secondary school No. 155 named after Levon Mirijanyan demanded that pupils present personal data of adult members of their families.

Zhoghovurd paper’s reporter first visited the school, then called its management saying he is one of the parents.

“We are members of the Republican Party of Armenia and want to know whether our data is required for RPA,” the reporter said. Deputy director of the school replied: “Of course, the data is for RPA, please send the list of your family members; you know, our school is RPA-oriented.”

When the reporter again asked whether their votes will go to support the Republican Party of Armenia, school representative explained: “No, we are just registering RPA supporters; you may vote for whoever you want at the elections, we are just calculating the party’s supporters.”
