ArmInfo. The violations, fixed during the voting at the presidential
election in Armenia, are typical for large-scale election, deputy
Chairman of RF Federal Assembly's Federation Council, member of CIS
monitoring mission Alexander Troshin said at today's press-conference
in Yerevan.
He recalled that all the observers' conclusions are based on the
information they are aware of directly: "We cannot analyze the data
received at third hand". A. Troshin said that the violations, fixed
by the observers at yesterday's election, are typical for large-
scale election and are mainly of technical nature - the cases when
there are more than one persons in the poling booth, over 15 persons
in the room, queues at the election precinct and other remarks typical
for such election.
For his part, deputy of RF State Duma Konstantin Zatulin made several
examples, marked by RF State Duma's deputies. "I have been in one
of the polling stations in Yerevan where one of the presidential
contender's campaign agent paid attention to the fact that not the
32nd but the next page in the passport is stamped. The Election
Commission convinced him that it does not conflict with the law and
the only reason is in occupancy of the 32nd page with visas, while he
insisted that the cover sheet is not part of RA citizen's passport",
A. Zatulin said. He also said that an observer in Gyumri noted that
a teacher was working in one of the classes in the school, which
served an election precinct, though he had not to be there. "Perhaps,
the reason of taking additional measures in Armenia is concerned with
the fact that the issue of transparency of the election, fairness of
summing-up is treated here so scrupulously", K. Zatulin said.
