President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan who has already made a deal with
the United States to enlist Washington's support at the parliamentary
and presidential elections will go on certain concessions that
will seriously damage Armenia and the entire region. Aram Manukyan,
Leader of the Armenian Pan-National Movement, a member of the Armenian
National Congress, told media in Yerevan, Wednesday.
"The first election rigger in the country is the incumbent president
and all the violations are done by his order. He has failed his
mission and did not keep his promise given to the international
structure to conduct free and fair elections. And the support by John
Heffern, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, is the evidence of that deal,"
the oppositionist said.
To recall, on Feb 14 Ambassador John Heffern said that there was
real competition and no rigging during the elections of Hrazan mayor
on February 12. In the meantime, the supporter of the oppositionist
candidate for the post of Hrazdan Mayor Sasun Mikaelyan alarmed of
numerous cases of election fraud and voter bribery.
Aram Manukyan said the authorities and the Central Electoral
Commission will never publish the electoral registers and will not
agree to seal the passports of those who have already voted. "False
electoral registers for the upcoming parliamentary elections are being
prepared in the administrative regions of Yerevan. Representatives of
condominiums visit residents informing them of the decisions adopted
by the Elders' Council of Yerevan. In reality, they make the lists
of potential bribe-takers," he said.
He thinks that the elections in Hrazdan proved that the fraud is
based on the poverty and mass migration in the country. In addition,
electoral registers are filled up by voters 6 months ahead of
elections, which is a good opportunity for election fraud. "The
authorities intentionally lead the country to the brink of collapse
to easier falsify the voting result."
The parliamentary elections in Armenia are scheduled for May 6 2012,
with the presidential election to be held in February 2012.
