“People no longer believe a single word Pashinyan says”: a poll in Lori region

Emotions surrounding the electoral process show no sign of abating, and public discontent is becoming increasingly visible. During a poll by Alpha News, one resident of the Lori region, making no effort to conceal his frustration and pent-up dissatisfaction, described the elections as “completely falsified.”

Although he was not personally present at polling stations, he noted that the general impression and obvious facts leave no other room for interpretation.

“Back then Pashinyan was accusing the former authorities, and now he himself has done even more and worse. Under him, these phenomena have manifested far more strongly. Our people know how to think and reason, and now we don’t believe a single word he says,” the citizen stated indignantly.

Another Alpha News poll participant emphasized that the very format of the elections and the voting procedure had already been problematic and caused confusion. He described what he witnessed at his polling station: “What was that, 16 or 18 ballots handed out at once? At the place where I voted, thousands of those ballots were scattered across the tables. Now I regret not taking and tearing up the rest, especially the ones numbered 16.”
