A tense atmosphere reigned throughout Election District 21 in Armavir
Marz on May 6.
MPs Nahapet Gevorgyan (Republican Party) and Roustam Gasparyan
(Prosperous Armenia) were out and about on election day on a sacred
mission to round up votes for their respective parties.
The fact that there is no love lost between the two only escalated
tensions.
Hetq has learnt that around 2 am on May 7, when Armen Sargsyan,
President of the Ajgevan village election committee was transporting
election documents to the town of Armavir for processing, his car
was stopped by a son of one of the above-mentioned MPs.
The man ordered Sargsyan to hand over the documents or else. Sargsyan
was able to flee the scene and head to the Prosperous Armenia Party
headquarters.
A group of men then escorted Sargsyan and the documents to the election
district office.
We telephoned Sargsyan for clarification. He neither denied nor
confirmed the story.
"I will tell you only if you show up at the Prosperous Armenia offices,
in the presence of our boss Roustam Gasparyan," Sargsyan said.
We've been trying to get in touch with Gasparyan since last night to
no avail. Our telephone calls are being returned with the notation,
"Out of Reach".
