A Youtube video showing an object resembling a pistol on Prosperous Armenia party leader’s belt was in focus of the Armenian public today, April 13.

The video was taken during a meeting between Gagik Tsarukyan and voters in Armenia’s city of Etchmiadzin in the framework of the election campaign.

Prosperous Armenia MP Naira Zohrabyan, in turn, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that the party leader carried a gold-color Vertu cell phone on his belt which was mistaken for a pistol.

It is noteworthy that under RA law “On freedom of assembly”, carrying of weapons during public meetings is banned.

Parliamentary elections, due in Armenia on May 6, feature 8 political parties, Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Prosperous Armenia, ARF Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD), Orinats Yerkir, Heritage, Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA), Communist Party of Armenia and United Armenian party, as well as one election bloc represented by opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC).
