Why Influential Armenians from Russia are Coming to Armenia: 'Past'

'Past' newspaper writes: 'As we have already informed, a new force is forming around Ara Abrahamyan, the president of the Union of Armenians of Russia, which will most likely announce its participation in the upcoming snap elections soon.'

'According to reliable information from the 'Past' newspaper, leaders from about 150 community organizations of the Union of Armenians of Russia are expected to arrive in Armenia in the coming days. According to our sources, this process has already begun, and some of them are already in Armenia.'

'The leaders of the regional organizations of the Union of Armenians of Russia are primarily influential figures in their localities who are known for their ability to 'solve problems'. It is not surprising that citizens leaving for the Russian Federation from Armenia often find jobs through them or directly with them.'

'According to our information, the leaders of the community organizations of the Union of Armenians of Russia plan to ensure the presence of these citizens during the election phase, the number of whom, by the way, is quite substantial. Moreover, considering that the families of these individuals are currently in Armenia, it can be said that we are talking about a considerable electoral base that could significantly impact the outcome of the elections led by Ara Abrahamyan.'
