 Arpine Martirosyan, a candidate for membership in the council of the community of  Shahumyan, the region of   Lori, and the chairman of the Pan-Armenian National Movement (PANM) youth union in Vanadzor, claims that  Edik Manukyan, a candidate for the leader of the same community, pasted election posters in a place of public catering and a state building

two days ago, in the period of election campaign, violating the interests of villagers, their right to freedom of choice by that.

“Village headman Manukyan has pasted his election posters in a shop and the Shahumyan department of communication, the Vanadzor office of Haypost. If the law bans pasting campaign posters in state or local administration buildings, places of public catering etc., he should be forbidden to do that too. Our goal is that the law is not violated, if it is in force, it should be in force for everyone,” Arpine Martirosyan says.

According to the candidate for council, the community leader intends to paste a poster in a shop – that place is often visited by the residents, “Residents often visit the shop, that place is more preferable for advertising. He gains an advantage over the others by that.”

Edik Manukyan, the leader of the Shahumyan community, on the other hand, stated during a conversation with Aravot. “One can paste posters everywhere, except for the building of the village administration and polling stations, if the owner agrees. My election posters are pasted in the campaign headquarters, in the office of Haypost and on someone’s garage,” the community leader responds to the council.
