The Central Election Committee received 10 computers as a gift
from U.S. government 17 days before the elections. While signing a
memorandum on cooperation with CEC, Anthony Godfrey, charge d’affairs
of U.S. ambassador in Armenia, said, "All necessary conditions
are created to conduct elections in compliance with international
standards." Moreover, the U.S. diplomats urged the Armenian citizens
"to go to election communities and check their registration."
Armenian prime minister, Serzh Sargsyan, also present at signing of
the memorandum, underscored technical capacities for "normal process
of elections."
Garegin Azaryan, CEC chairman showed the computers to the prime
minister and the foreign diplomat. The prime minister saw the packs
in which the protocols will be brought to CEC. "If you try to open,
it will change its color and will obviously show that the pack
was opened," CEC chairman explained to the prime minister. "Are we
guaranteed that no one can open the packs?" the prime minister asked.
Anthony Godfrey asked if it is possible for the reporters and observers
to know what is going on at election night in the communities from
CEC, to which the chairman said, "Of coarse, we will be working whole
night. I will work in my office and the employees will be in front
of the monitor."
