Minister of Internal Affairs Arpine Sargsyan said Friday that police continue to investigate possible electoral violations and vote-buying activities.

Speaking to reporters in parliament, Sargsyan said that law enforcement authorities are continuing efforts to uncover election-related crimes and that further arrests may follow if sufficient grounds are established.

She emphasized that the work of law enforcement agencies is not limited to election day.
