Orinats Yerkir distributed invalid plastic cards as electoral bribe – paper

According to Haykakan Zhamanak daily, during parliamentary elections, Orinats Yerkir party distributed plastic cards, which turned out to be unusable, among voters.

“The plastic cards were supposed to provide a 20% discount at Yervan medical center. Factually, those who accepted the cards, voted for Orinats Yerkir. The voters were refused treatment at medical center which denied signing any contract for service provision,” the daily said.

“In a conversation with Haykakan Zhamanak reporter, Orinats Yerkir spokesman Harutyun Amiryan denied any knowledge of either cards or Hayasa Foundation, although the charity foundation name was indicated on plastic cards, and the foundation HQ are located in the same building with Orinats Yerkir,” the daily said.
