“If the court decides that the 129 ballots voted for Arayik Qotanjyan
which were considered invalid are valid, he will be elected head of
the Qanaqer-Zeytun community without second elections”, this is the
opinion of the NA independent deputy Manouk Gasparyan who supports
the candidate. He also informed that an action has been brought to
the Court of Appeal.

Let us remind you that the Local Electoral Committee had announced
the results of the September 19 election in Qanaqer-Zeytun and fixed
new elections.

After the reports of the LEC the ballot packs were torn and according
to the NA deputy 54 ballots from one area and 75 from the other were
“spoilt by hand” and considered invalid. The action by Arayik Qotanjyan
is about the “fate” is these ballots.

Manouk Gasparyan thinks that tomorrow the Court will send an order
to the LEC not to organize elections until the court makes a decision.

It is noteworthy that Arayik Qotanjyan was not recognized community
head as the number of errors exceeded that of the difference
between the votes received by Mr. Qotanjyan and his opponent Valeri
Haroutyunyan.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
