Orinats Yerkir Party (OYP) plans to appeal the results of the
parliamentary elections in Armenia in Courts of First Instance and the
Constitutional Court, and in case of necessity – in the European Court
of Human Rights, Artur Baghdasarian said at a press conference today.
According to him, "the results of the elections were influenced by
mass bribery of electors, carried out both on the eve of the voting
and on the day of elections outside the polling stations." Besides,
Artur Baghdasarian argues that forged passports were used during
the elections.
"We plan to press for a recount of votes in over 400 polling stations,
where, according to the official data, our party did not receive a
single vote, whereas in neighboring polling stations Orinats Yerkir
gained tens of votes," Artur Baghdasarian stated.
He welcomed the fact that the opposition parties in total gained
450 thousand votes. "This means that the opposition should get united
before the next presidential elections, and set out by a single front,"
leader of OYP stated.
