Tsarukyan casts his vote
Eccentric tycoon Gagik Tsarukyan — best known for his attempts to build the world’s tallest Jesus Christ statue — has cast his vote in Arinj, a village located just north of Yerevan.

Tsarukyan founded his opposition Prosperous Armenia party in 2004 — this year, it is running via the Proposal to Armenia programme, together with Andranik Tevanyan’s Mother Armenia Alliance and Suren Surenyants’s Democratic Alternative, on a joint list. The coalition is yet to announce their prime ministerial candidate, though Tsarukyan has claimed that it will not be him.
