The myth that the authorities, judging from the edited recordings and the course of events of the election and post-election period, was spreading, collapsed. Marianna Ghahramanyan, deputy of the "Strong Armenia" opposition faction of the National Assembly, announced this during the traditional briefings on September 22, responding to the representatives of the ruling "Civil Agreement" faction. to the observation that "Strong Armenia" does not participate in local government elections, because it was deprived of the opportunity to distribute electoral bribes. According to him, those accusations collapsed in the summer in the Constitutional Court, which is "the favorite court of the current government". At the same time, the deputy drew the public's attention to the cases when the representatives and officials of the ruling power resorted to various means of "encouraging" the voters.
