Armenia’s third President Serzh Sargsyan has cast his ballot in early parliamentary elections in the village of Dzoraghbyur together with his spouse Rita Sargsyan.

He refused to speak to reporters at the polling station. “I will not give an interview to you,” he told reporters.

Eleven political forces, including nine parties and two blocs, are vying for seats in the 101-member National Assembly.

2010 polling stations opened across Armenia at 8am Sunday as the country is electing a new parliament. The polls close at 8pm. 

According to official data, 2,573,779 people are eligible to vote in the snap elections.
