A parliament deputy from the Orinats Yerkir Party, a junior partner in Armenia's governing coalition, has effectively accused the ruling Republican Party (HHK) of buying votes to win this month's parliamentary elections.
"You know very well who gave and who took vote bribes," Ishkhan Khachatrian told journalists late on Monday, pointing the finger at "those political forces that got most votes."
Asked whether he means the HHK and the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), the election runner-up, Khachatrian said, "I'll leave conclusions to you. I'm not giving names. I'm just pointing out that our votes shrunk only because of vote bribes."
Pressed by reporters, Khachatrian was careful not to explicitly attack the HHK. "No, I'm not accusing," he said. "We can conclude today that our elections marked one step forward."
