    VAHAGN KHACHATRIAN: AMBULANCE PERSONNEL CHANGED BALLOT BOX AT A POLLING STATION

    June 3, 2009

    YEREVAN, JUNE 3, NOYAN TAPAN. "What took place on May 31 in Yerevan
    cannot be named "elections," Vahagn Khachatrian, ANC representative,
    coordinator of ANC Malatia-Sebastia community's election headquarters,
    stated at the June 3 press conference. According to him, as a
    result of mass stuffing of ballot boxes with ballot papers done by
    pro-governmental forces 90% and more turnout was recorded at many
    polling stations of electoral districts N 7 and 8. Besides, according
    to V. Khachatrian, all known and unknown means of rigging elections
    were used on May 31, from organization of "karoussels" to attack of
    "bandit groups" on polling stations. And all this, according to the
    ANC representative, was done in the presence of policemen and with
    their "silent approval."

    V. Khachatrian also said that at one of Malatia-Sebastia polling
    stations immediately before counting the votes the ambulance car
    arriving on the occasion of alleged worsening of health condition of
    a commission member brought a ballot-box already stuffed with ballot
    papers and took away the ballot box placed at the polling station. As
    a result, according to him, nearly 1300 ballot papers were counted,
    while ANC's proxy had recorded participation of nearly 700 voters
    within the day.

    V. Khachatrian added that in the house where he lives the
    resident carrying out RPA's election campaign was a thief and
    hooligan. According to the ANC representative, that young man had a
    big sum of money during the campaign and he started, on the one hand,
    to bribe and, on the other hand, to intimidate the house residents.
