According to a publication in today’s issue of "Golos Armenii"
newspaper, the leader of "Orinats Yerkir" (Rule of Law) Party, NA
Deputy, ex-Speaker of the National Assembly Arthur Baghdasaryan tried
to convince a senior official of the British Embassy that international
organizations need to intervene in the electoral processes in Armenia.

According to the publication, unknown people passed a CD to the
editorial office, which includes the video of a conversation between
Arthur Baghdasaryan, his Adviser on Foreign Policy Issues Tigran
Lazarian and a senior British diplomat in "Marco Polo" restaurant of
Yerevan that supposedly took place in February. The discussion focused
on the parliamentary elections in Armenia, and Arthur Baghdasaryan
tried to convince his interlocutor that international organizations
should intervene in the electoral processes in Armenia. For his
part, the British diplomat declared that the Armenian authorities
must overstep the limits for the outer forces to be able to take
measures. "We need an exact fraud for the European Union to come
forth with a decisive statement," said the British diplomat.

The newspaper assures that it becomes apparent from the video that
the two interlocutors are interested in the complete failure of the
upcoming parliamentary elections in Armenia.
