"If the Constitutional Court of Armenia occurs to be unbiased, it will
recognize the parliamentary election of May 12 null and void on the
basis of the documents we have submitted to it," Aram Karapetyan,
New Times party leader, said at a press conference, Wednesday. He
expressed satisfaction that not only a member of the party Board
Hrachya Sargsyan, but also the lawyer and human rights activist,
head of the public organisation "Supreme Council – deputy club"
Ruben Torosyan will protect the interests of the party at the Court..
New Times party insists on examination on documents on 687 polling
stations where the voting results are doubtful. "How can the party
receive 100 votes at one polling station and no votes at all at
another?" the leader asked.
Aram Karapetyan is sure that about 400,000 votes were falsified. He
mentioned that the claim is based on the documents submitted by the
persons representing the party. Three opposition parties, New Times,
Republic and Orinats Yerkir and Impeachment bloc appealed to the
Constitutional Court on May 26 against the election result. Their
claims were united into one proceedings. The first hearing is scheduled
for June 1.
