elections in Armenia
Yerevan, May 13. /Mediamax/. Oppositional `Impeachment’ bloc and `New
Times’ and `Republic’ parties made a joint statement today, accusing
the pro-governmental forces of using `all the known methods of
election falsifications’.
Mediamax reports that the statement reads that the pro-authority
forces – the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), the `Prosperous
Armenia’, `Dashnaktsutiun’ and the United Labor Party `used all the
known methods of election falsifications – illegal ballot-box
stuffing, bribery distribution and others’.
`During the whole process of elections, there was a billow of reports
on falsifications received from all over the territory of the
republic, based not only on the operative information of proxies and
observers, but also the reports of various Radio and TV-Companies’,
the statement reads.
`Impeachment’, `New Times’ and `Republic’ declared that `almost the
whole public transport of Yerevan and other settlements was removed
from the routes and used for transportation of the electors’.
`In many polling stations, there were cases of threatening, violence
and beatings of proxies and journalists, at that, such incidents
often took place among the representatives of the ruling parties –
RPA, `Prosperous Armenia’ and `Dashnaktsutiun”, the statement reads.
`One may not doubt that during the nearest hours the final steps for
falsifications, related to summing up the results of the elections,
will be made. However, one can argue even now, that all this had
considerable influence on the final results of the elections’ –
`Impeachment’, `New Times’ and `Republic’ declared.–0–
