YEREVAN, MAY 15, NOYAN TAPAN. On May 15, RA Central Electoral
Commission refuted the publication of the same day in Haykakan Zhamanak
daily under the title "Theft", according to which at Syunik region’s
polling station N 38/23 CEC added 58 ballot-papers received in favor
of Impeachment bloc to votes received by ARFD. According to CEC,
OYP Vice-Chairwoman Heghine Bisharian’s statement that until May 14,
0 votes had been given for Impeachment at polling stations N 38/25
and 38/25, but as a result of May 14 recalculation the data became
58 and 169, respectively, does not correspond to reality, either. It
is mentioned that no application of recalculation was received at
electoral district N 38, no recalculation was done at polling stations
N 38/25 and 38/28 and the votes received by the Impeachment bloc when
summing up results at the above mentioned polling stations were 58
and 169, respectively.

"Once more we witness Heghine Bisharian’s false and provocative
statements, which have nothing in common with real facts," CEC
statement read.
