Yerevan /Mediamax/. Spokesman of the Armenian President Viktor
Soghomonian considers `weak’ and `unreasoned’ the suits on nullifying
election results, submitted to the Constitutional Court (CC) by
presidential candidates Levon Ter-Petrosian and Tigran Karapetian.

Mediamax reports that, speaking at a briefing in Yerevan today, Viktor
Soghomonian stated that in the process of hearings the suits in CC, `no
new arguments and documents were presented’.

Spokesman of the President reminded that the Administrative Court did
not receive any application concerning election violations from Levon
Ter-Petrosian’s representatives.

`This means that they either did not have facts and real arguments, or,
which is worse, the candidate and his team were not even going to take
the legal path’, Viktor Soghomonian stated. According to the Spokesman
of the President, the fact that Ter-Petrosian’s supporters tried to
seize power with the use of force on March 1, can also evidence this.

Viktor Soghomonian also noted that, despite Levon Ter-Petrosian’s
unhindered participation in the session of CC on March 5, his
supporters continue making loud statements on the `house arrest’ of the
Ex-President.
