YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 25, NOYAN TAPAN. On February 24 the RA Central
Electoral Commission convened a sitting on February 24 immediately
after the deadline of the recalculation of the results of the ballot in
electoral districts was over, not giving the RA presidential candidates
an opportunity to become acquainted with the results of the appeal and
compare the electoral documents for revealing the real picture. This
is mentioned in the statement of the pre-electoral office of Arthur
Baghdasarian, an RA presidential candidate, according to which the
results of the elections are distorted in numerous appealed polling
stations, not taking into consideration their protests. "In parallel
with this process, detentions of political figures took place in the
country, which is unequivocally condemnable. In parallel with this,
the process of declaring himself president by 65 percent of votes
on the Freedom square by Levon Ter-Petrosian continued, which is
inadmissible, too," is mentioned in the statement.
According to the statement, the application of rough and force
methods by the authorities will increase the public inconfidence,
will deepen the real opportunity of mass public confrontations, will
cast a serious shadow on the international authority of the country,
and put to question the whole process of the presidential elections.
"We declare that we consider any attempt of force intervention as
inadmissible and dangerous and come up from positions of settling the
created complicated interpolitical situation exclusively by political
methods," is said in the statement of the pre-electoral office of
Arthur Baghdasarian.
