/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia's Central Electoral Committee dismissed the
claim of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) to recognize as
illegitimate the elections into Yerevan City Council.
Garegin Azaryan, head of CEC, making a speech in this connection
mentioned, that submitted complaints have not been properly
composed. The documents do not have signatures, in many cases contain
unaddressed, private and emotional evaluations, which cannot become
undeniable facts for recognizing the Yerevan City Council's elections
as illegitimate.
Simultaneously, he mentioned that CEC does not deny that violations
took place on May 31, according to him, most of them were eliminated
immediately in elections day. `This 370-page claim does not make
ourselves liable to think about possible impact on the results of the
elections,' Azaryan stressed.
Head of CEC believes, that by submitting such a multipage package to
RA CEC, ANC pursued his object to pull the electoral committee into a
long official circumlocution.
According to Mr.Azaryan, in order to recognize illegitimacy of the
elections, consequences of violations should carry irreversible
nature, and the possibility of precise checking of the expression of
voters' will should be lost. `ANC, however, has not submitted such
facts,' Mr. Azaryan said.
The Central Electoral Committee of Armenia must totalize the outcomes
of the Yerevan City Council elections by the end of June 7.
