The non-nomination of an opposition force in the communities is a result of pressure. there is no other way to explain the lone participation of the DPRK, North Korean style. Daniel Ioannisyan, the president of the NGO "Union of Informed Citizens" wrote about this. "Prime Minister Pashinyan calls on all the candidates and voters who are under pressure to participate in local government elections to contact him. He promises to publicly punish the officials who put pressure on him in case of substantiating what was said. Nikol Pashinyan knows better than anyone that such things are always done very carefully. For example, according to the alert we received, the governor of Armavir urged the federalist Razmik Ayvazyan to "convince" him not to run for mayor of Armavir to think about his newly drafted son. But while the Prime Minister, along with his hand, has also assumed the functions of the prosecutor, I want to remind you that in the same way he promised to investigate and, if confirmed, to fire the staff during the campaign for the National Assembly elections in Aparan. and the principals of several schools that brought the students. And now guess 3 times how many of those directors were fired... Despite the fact that campaigning at the expense of the school process was confirmed by the official examination. And why did those directors continue to serve? Because, presumably, they received an instruction from the mayor of Aparan. And the mayor of Aparan is a valuable tasovshik for KP, who will soon be their candidate in Aparan. In general, it is obvious that the non-nomination of an opposition force in many communities is the result of pressure on candidates. There is no other way to explain the solitary participation of the CP (North Korean style) in many communities. * Tasovshik - an apolitical figure who exerts influence on voters during elections. P.S. I will soon tell how they are able to prevent the nomination of the whole party in the community by suppressing a few candidates (the devil is in the details of the electoral system)," he wrote.
