Paper: RPA, Orinats Yerkir agree on electoral bribing schedule

According to Yerkir paper’s data, two coalition partners, the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and Orinats Yerkir have agreed on days of large-scale electoral bribe distribution.

RPA is going to bribe the voters on May 4, the last day of election propaganda, and Orinats Yerkir on May 3, the paper says.

RPA will offer AMD 10000-15000, while Orinats Yerkir will try to gain votes by “AMD 5000 and a cheap mobile phone”, Yerkir says.

It emphasizes that RPA will offer money to voters urging them to support some candidates nominated by majority system by Prosperous Armenia party as well, namely those backed by RPA.

According to Yerkir, some banks and currency exchange offices recently run short of AMD 5000 and AMD 10000 bank notes.

Meanwhile, some people gladly take electoral bribes from two and more parties, Yerkis claims.
