YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The ballot of the February 19 RA
presidential elections recorded numerous electoral falsifications and
electoral violations, morover, the electoral process was accompanied
by numerous examples of intimidating the members of the electoral
commissions and empowered people, as well as submitting them to
blackmail and hiding.
All this is mentioned in the statement of the pre-electoral office of
RA presidential candidate Arthur Baghdasarian. "The mass stuffings in
numerous electoral stations, the general giving out of electoral bribe,
open and double ballots, mass refusal for registering the protests
presented in the written form by the members of the OYP commission,
as well as the falsifications made during the calculation of the
votes in numerous stations put in question the legality, freedom and
justice of the elections," is said in the statement.
They state in the office that they are starting a process on
the reconsideration and appeal of the results of the elections,
demanding to invalidate the results of the ballot of over hundred
polling stations, to make a recalculation of votes in over two
hundred polling stations. As a result, according to the statement,
the votes of the candidate of the Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law)
Party will essentially increase, which, in its turn, will have an
essential influence on the final results of the elections.
"We address to the RA authorities to take measures not to hinder the
reconsideration of the results of the ballot by the order defined by
law. We declared that the attempts to hinder and distort the revealing
of the real picture of the ballot before the final conclusion of the
results of the election by the infringement of the RA Constitution
and laws are fraught with public confrontation," is mentioned in
the statement.
