The committee informed about this in response to the media's question.
"Criminal proceedings have been initiated in connection with the case of violating the ban on charity. The criminal proceedings were initiated under the features of Article 221 of the RA Criminal Code (violation of the ban on charity during the Referendum or election)," the committee informed.
To remind: in 2025 Local government elections will take place in Etchmiadzin on November 16. After the election appointment decision came into force, on October 21, a charity event was held in one of the community's villages (Doghsum) with the participation of a number of CP party candidates. "Union of Informed Citizens" notes that many residents of the community were given valuable gifts during the event. "Union of Informed Citizens" appealed to the RA General Prosecutor's Office.
