"I consider yesterday’s elections in No. 10 electoral district to be
the customary manifestation of fraudulent elections. The electoral
system, formed in the mid-90s, is preserved until today and the public
and the opposition forces can overcome that falsified system with
joint efforts," said Heritage Party board chair Armen Martirosyan to
Tert.am, referring to the National Assembly supplementary elections
which took place in central Yerevan on January 10.

Martirosyan also turned his attention to the low voter turnout, saying
that it indicates the public’s distrust toward the electoral system.

Referring to the victory by the National Unity party candidate,
Martirosyan noted that he finds it difficult to praise the victory.

"They were fraudulent elections," said the Heritage Party board chair.
