The mayoral election in Razdan on 12 February by their unprecedently
shameful organization reminded of Gorkiy's, Kafka's and Hugo's plots,
an observer of the election in Razdan from the Armenian National
Congress, the head of the Armenian Pan-National Movement board,
Aram Manukyan, said at today's press-conference.
"In Razdan I came across poverty, injustice and bribery. Many disabled
people, the birth date of which was not fixed in their passports, and
which were not involved in the voters' list, were taking part in the
election. I was most of all surprised by a girl which took all her
crazy brothers and sisters to the ballot station and got money for
their votes. But I did not see criminals in such people but victims
of the ruling regime. The hunger gained a victory in such citizens
and the authorities make use of it, grounding their reproduction on
poverty, bribery and illegality", - Manukyan said.
"Nevertheless, 11500 people or 46% of all the voters in Razdan gave
their votes for Sasun Mikaelyan. They followed their duty, as a citizen
has not yet died in them", - he said. Asked why the ANC did not file
a protest against the results of the election, Manukyan replied it
is impossible to fight the mass and all-round bribery.
