Members of the Republican Party of Armenia and the Prosperous Armenia
Party made a statement on the presidential elections of February 19.
Press Service of the Republican Party informed that according to
the preliminary data of RA Central Electoral Commission, leader of
the Republican Party of Armenia, RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan
has been elected President of Armenia. The international observers
from PACE, OSCE PA, European Parliament, CIS PA, OSCE/ODIHR fixed a
considerable progress as compared with the past election and assessed
the presidential election as the ones meeting the international
standards. The law enforcement agencies quickly responded to the
violations fixed during the election, however, these violations do not
cast a shadow on the election results as deficiencies occur during
any election and in any country. We are sure that the authors of
these violations will be revealed for sure regardless of what party
they represent.
The parliamentarians also emphasized that refusal of a number of
persons to recognize their defeat is unacceptable for them. As a
result, they try to seed hatred in the society and address indecent
expressions to those who do not obey and do not support them. In
particular, both ordinary citizens and Catholicos of All Armenians
have become the object of their assaults. "We are sure that the law
enforcement agencies will respond to disorders and the violence", the
deputies emphasized. They thanked the compatriots for an unprecedented
activeness in the election and congratulated the people on holding
of the best election in the history of the independent Armenian
state. The MPs assured that they will do their best for the new stage
in the country’s history to become a period of love, fairness and
all-national solidarity.
The statement was signed by all the parliamentarians of the
above-indicated factions.
