    CHAIRMAN OF DISTRICT ELECTORAL COMMISSION N 13 ACCUSED OF RIGGING VOTING RESULTS

    April 2, 2008

    YEREVAN, APRIL 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The preliminary examination of the
    criminal case instituted on the fact of rigging voting results at
    polling station N 13/10, which has been completed in the RA Special
    Investigation Service, grounded that during recounting of voting
    results done on February 23, 2008 in district electoral commission N 13
    of Yerevan's Erebuni community, 151 ballot-papers voted for another
    candidate, Levon Ter-Petrosian, were revealed in the envelope of
    ballot-papers voted for Serge Sargsian. Seyran Mkrtumian, the Chairman
    of district electoral commission N 13, for the purpose of concealing
    the registered inaccuracy, rigged the recounting results. That is,
    secretly from commission members and observers he hid the envelope
    with 146 ballot-papers voted for L. Ter-Petrosian and confirmed
    the protocol on recounting results without entering the data on 146
    ballot-papers existing in the hidden envelope.

    According to the report of the RA Prosecutor General's Office, on the
    basis of the obtained evidence, accusation is brought to S. Mkrtumian
    by Article 150, RA Criminal Code. He admitted the accusation brought
    to him and confessed his guilt.

    The criminal case has been sent to the general jurisdiction court of
    Erebuni and Nubarashen communities to examine it on the substance.
