“Strong Armenia” reports on the pressures and claims that “the published figures do not reflect the real picture”

“The pre-election phase was accompanied by targeted actions against our leader, candidates, supporters and teammates, massive illegal arrests and criminal prosecutions, which were aimed at limiting political competition and affecting the free expression of voters,” wrote Marianna Ghahramanyan, spokesperson of “Strong Armenia”.

The alliance claims that an administrative resource was used on the voting day.

“Besides this, an unprecedented phenomenon happened. until the results of all the polling stations were processed by the CEC, Nikol Pashinyan announced “victory and forming a one-man power”, which was a direct instruction and impulse to the CEC,” the statement of the party’s spokesperson said.

It is noted that “under these conditions, the figures published cannot reflect the real picture” and that the central headquarters of the “Strong Armenia” alliance is currently engaged in “situation analysis”.

The ruling power, at the press conference called yesterday, countered: there can be no question of any political persecution, those who have committed illegalities are arrested.
