News.am, Armenia

YEREVAN. – Zhoghovurd newspaper of Armenia writes. According to Zhoghovurd daily’s information, a day before the snap parliamentary elections that were held on June 20, a number of people holding senior positions at the law enforcement agencies wrote letters of resignations, thinking that the opposition would win as a result of the elections, and decided to insure themselves.

They had decided that once the Central Electoral Commission announced the election results, they would immediately sign the letters of resignation and leave. However, as it is known, the Central Electoral Commission, summing up the preliminary results of the election, registered the victory—with 53.91 percent—of the current authorities.

And, according to our information, after learning about that, the people holding senior positions at the law enforcement agencies who wrote letters of resignations tore those letters right in their offices; that is, the outcome of the elections was to their liking.
