Yerevan, 12 May: The Orinats Yerkir party is planning to make a
political statement following the parliamentary election, Artur
Baghdasaryan, party leader and former speaker of the Armenian
parliament, told journalists today after he cast his vote at a polling
station in Yerevan.

Baghdasaryan said that if the election is conducted without fraud, his
party will have a weighty presence in parliament. He believes that in
general the election process has been going well. However, the party’s
"hot line" has already received several alarm calls regarding
violations. In particular, an unauthorized use of the electoral
commission’s stamp was detected in [the northern Armenian town of]
Dilijan, and 100 ballot papers were lost. Baghdasaryan called on the
authorities not to abuse the votes especially that they had all the
privileges from the beginning of the campaign. He said that 6,000
proxies of the Orinats Yerkir party are closely observing the election.
