Pre-election bribes by the ruling Republican Party determined
the voting result in the town of Hrazdan, Armen Martirosyan,
parliamentarian from Heritage Party told media, Tuesday.
"The opposition was observing the situation at the polling stations
by combined efforts, while votes were defrauded outside the polling
stations. I know very cases of voter bribery. The citizens were under
permanent pressure and were reluctant to vote for the Republican
candidate, Martirosyan said.
He said that the law-enforcement was warned not to interfere into
election fraud at polling stations. The parliamentarian said the
opposition has no legal levers of pressure and cannot take the
situation fully under control.
Aram Danielyan -the incumbent Mayor and the ruling coalition's
Republican Party of Armenia member - defeated Sasun Mikayelyan- the
former MP and Mayor, and opposition Armenian National Congress member.
According to the preliminary results of the elections, Danielyan
received 13,000 votes, and Mikayelyan received about 11,500 votes.
The whole day long, Sasun Mikayelyan's campaign headquarters was
informing about cases of fraud and election bribes, whereas Aram
Danielyan's headquarters was refuting this information.
The voter turnout was at 57.86%.
