The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and Prosperous Armenia coalition parties preparing for “free and fair elections” have started distribution of electoral bribes, according to Hraparak daily.

In Armenian town of Masis, the representatives of both parties compared the lists according to which electoral bribes had to be distributed, revealing that a number of names concurred. This proves pubic readiness to sell votes to both parties. Moreover, the number of names included in lists exceeds the number of voters of the electoral district.

Though the electoral bribe was said to total AMD 20 thous. prior to the launch of the pre-election stage, it doesn’t surpass AMD 10 thous.
