Votes were stolen during the elections, just as happened in 1996. This was stated by a resident of the Vayots Dzor region of Armenia during a poll, speaking about the June 7 parliamentary elections in the Republic of Armenia.

“I believe the elections were falsified. The authorities talk about justice, but people are judged not for their actions but for their words,” one survey participant noted.

According to survey participants, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan instructed the Central Electoral Commission to deliver the result he needed.

“This is a one-sided choice, they do not take the people’s opinion into account. They don’t let people go to Russia to earn a living, and they don’t provide them with a decent life here. Rural residents are once again left to face their problems alone. It turns out that the leadership is indifferent to the people’s problems,” an Alpha News interlocutor emphasized.
