Yerevan /Mediamax/. Tomorrow the presidential candidate of Armenia,
Chairman of "Orinats Yerkir" party Artur Baghdasarian will give a news
conference, in which he "will make political and legal assessments
of the past elections and will inform of his further actions".
Mediamax reports that the statement of the pre-election staff of
Artur Baghdasarian, spread today, reads this.
"Yesterday, at 18:00, the Armenian CEC announced during its special
session the final results of the presidential elections. The calling
of the session was announced 30 minutes prior to the session, despite
the fact that the law provides 2 hours for it. The session took place
right after the expiration of the date of vote recount in the polling
stations, not giving the candidates the opportunity to get familiar
with the appeal results and to compare the electoral documents for
revealing the real picture", the statement reads.
"Alongside with this process, arrests of political figures took place
in the country, which surely deserves condemnation. Simultaneously,
at the Freedom Square the process of declaring Levon Ter-Petrosian
President continued, who allegedly had gained 65% of votes, which is
also inadmissible", the statement notes.
"The use of brute force methods by the authorities will increase the
public distrust, will deepen the real possibility of mass public
confrontations, will cast a serious shadow on the international
authority of the country and will subject to doubt the whole process
of presidential elections", the statement reads.
The statement of Artur Baghdasarian's pre-election staff also notes
that "we consider unacceptable and dangerous any efforts of force
interference and we speak for the solution of the present complex inner
political situation exclusively with the use of political methods".
