Armenia Threatens 25-Day Military Camp for Russia-Based Election Voters

The Armenian government has warned that citizens traveling from Russia to “vote for bribes” in the June 7 parliamentary elections could be sent to a 25-day military training camp, with those who refuse facing possible prosecution. The deputy chief of the Prime Minister’s staff Taron Chakhoyan addressed the issue in a social media post on June 3, saying that anyone arriving from Russia to cast a paid-for vote will be called up for military service, and those who refuse to comply will face legal consequences.
