Civil Contract Party to Pay $1,000 for Election Bribery Videos

Nikol Pashinyan, at a campaign rally in Jermuk today, announced that his Civil Contract party will pay 500,000 drams ($1,000) for each video that captures an election bribe being offered.

Pashinyan said that to date five people have been arrested on charges of offering such bribes. Another ten have been charged, but not detained, and fifty are suspected of offering bribes.

Pashinyan said that he’s received news from Gazprom-Armenia employees that employees are being forced to go to rallies.

"I hope these facts will not be confirmed. If confirmed they will have serious consequences. As I said in the case of the Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Combine, so for Gazprom-Armenia, any employee who engages in such activities will be fired by July 15," Pashinyan said.

Actually, at first glance this is step towards the justice and other things. However, it is not pleasant for me as I know the person, the situation. The ruler tries to flatter the people's hearts with offering a huge amount of money, which is huge in Armenian reality. This step is for decreasing the rating of other parties and avoiding an idea that their party could offer bribe. How can be that their work is transparent if thousands of facts were published which proves their biased word. This could be also a classical example of populism. Bad thing is that the mentioned person who did the statement was failed because of his populistic steps and continues to do so. I believe that the person who remains on its position after the defeat and thousands of complaints and still continues his apex ruling, can't say a true thing and has no right to continue to rule and use the state resources.
