Conspiracy Averted: Will the CPP Provide the 25 Votes Needed for Ishkhan's Election? - 'Hraparak'
The 'Hraparak' newspaper reports: 'Ishkhan Saghatelyan's election as Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly did not take place yesterday, as the speeches did not conclude. However, we learned that the authorities are reluctant to elect him, especially after yesterday's 'non-constructive' speech.
Moreover, they have attempted to find alternative 'candidates' among the two opposition factions and convinced them to present another person when they nominate candidates again in 10 days. Even potential candidates have been 'worked on' to be seduced.
If several members of the opposition do not vote for Saghatelyan, he will not be elected. However, it seems that the coalitions are aware of this and have managed to avert the conspiracy. Now, the authorities need to provide 25 votes for Ishkhan to be elected.'
