/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian deputy prosecutor general Aram
Tamazyan petitioned the Constitutional Court Thursday to dismiss
the contestation of the February 19 presidential election outcomes
brought in by Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Tigran Karapetyan.

"The claims of the plaintiff are ungrounded and can’t serve as
foundation for declaration the election invalid," he said.

"A special working group was formed to look into all violations of
the election process and secure its transparency. The working group
received 52 alerts on violations. 12 criminal cases were instituted,"
he noted.

Tamazyan also informed that the number of alerts received by
the prosecutor’s general totaled 232. "37 criminal cases were
instituted. The other violations are administrative violations and
should be considered in the Administrative Court," Tamazyan said,
