Deputy Head Of Armenian CEC Calls Absurd Accusation Of Falsification
Of Voting In Favor Of Victor Yanukovich
YEREVAN ,NOVEMBER 26, ARMINFO. Deputy Head of Armenian CEC, one of
the CIS observers over the second round of presidential election
in the Ukraine, Hamlet Abrahamyan called absurd the accusation of
falsification of the voting in favor of Victor Yanukovich.
Talking to ARMINFO, Friday, Abrahamyan said that together with
Secretary of the 10th election district of Armenia Karen Gasparyan,
he visited 15 polling stations in the town of Kharkov and a polling
station in the village of Mazepa in 70 km from Kharkov. He said
that the election was well-organized, no violations were observed in
the course of the pre-election campaign and no ballot-stuffing was
registered. However, colossal tension was permanently observed in the
course of the voting. The Ukrainian public is split into 2 incompatible
camps i.e. supporters of Victor Yanukovich and Victor Yushenko. It is
Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma who is able to avert the deep crisis.
As regards permanent accusations by OSCE, EU and US observers of
election rigging, Hamlet Abrahamyan said that Yushenko won at 16
of 25 election districts wherein Yanukovich received just 3-5% of
votes. So, why Victor Yanukovich, who allegedly used the so-called
administrative resource and won due to the densely populated districts,
did not take advantage of the so-called administrative resource at
the above 16 districts either. The Ukraine is a powerful developed
country in Europe and the scenarios like those in Georgia will not
be effective there, Abrahamyan said.
