Sambal Karpatian, the leader of Strong Armenia, said that the party is ready for early elections at any time. In his opinion, the municipal elections showed support for the authorities by only about 30% of the voters. The party only participated in Stephanoven, because in other regions its representatives are subject to criminal prosecution, Karpetyan explained. In addition, he noted that in the previous elections, 360 people who could defeat pro-government candidates were arrested for three days.
