Yerevan/Mediamax/. A part of the Armenian web "society” voted for "Chuck Norris” at today’s parliamentary elections and announced it openly.

The thing is that the most active Armenian internet users abouat a year ago started using the name of the American famous sportsman and actor Chuck Norris as a collective character of an almighty man.

 

In particular, many people on the social networks answering quite a serious question gave the name of Chuck Norris during various surveys. During the campaign, Chuck Norris's photos often appeared along with the real candidates.

 

As the Electoral Code of the Republic of Armenia doesn't envisage “against all” option on the ballot, many young people added Chuck Norris’s name by hand and “voted” for him meaning that they are against the current candidates and parties.
