We are trying to convince Armenians to participate in the US presidential election, US Congress candidate Alex Balekian told Alpha News.

“The election campaign has been very heated in recent days. We are making a lot of efforts to convince Armenians to vote, to replace their voice of protest with real actions, not to sit idly by. In short, we are trying to use every means to make them act.

There are even people who do not know how to vote in the election. I should also note that you cannot vote online. The polling centers are already open, you can go and vote there. It is much more convenient, because in case you have any questions, they can help,” he said.

Balekian noted that their office also helps with transport issues.

“The phone number of our office is 747-297-5008, we will solve your transportation issue,” Alex Balekian said.

He added that if 3/4 of the US Armenians go to the election, they will win.

“I became a congressional candidate because I see how much our life has worsened. The quality of education of our children has worsened, the number of crimes has increased, and I decided to run to fight this. I am not a politician, I am a doctor, and so I will have to put in twice as much effort. About 60 thousand Armenians live in our region, and if 3/4 of them vote, we will win the election,” Alex Balekian said.

He also commented on the incident when US President Joe Biden called Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage”.

“This is how they try to distract our attention. They don’t want to talk about real problems, including rising prices, crime, drugs, and homelessness,” Alex Balekian concluded.
