The election day hadn't still finished when ANC leader Levon
Ter-Petrosyan, PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan, ARF-D Armenia Supreme Body
representative Armen Rustamyan and ARF-D Bureau member Vahan
Hovhannisyan came to the united headquarters of public control over
the elections.
They made statements on the election process in front of mass media.
Both PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan and ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan
stated at the united headquarters of public control over the elections
today that they attached importance to the activity of the
headquarters from the very first day of its establishment.
`In the past, too, the opposition fought against election violations,
but there has been no united fight. Now, our strength was tripled by
the partners of the united headquarters and it is not by chance that
the commission members don't accept the protocols of the proxies, as
by that they would stop the further process of lodging complaints
against the violations at the court,' Levon Ter-Petrosyan said.
`The elections will end and each political force will know how much
they are trusted by the public. We have said we wish that fair and
transparent elections be held and we'll do so. After 8:00 we'll sit
down to discussion and will agree on further actions,' Gagik Tsarukyan
said.
The complete evaluations will be given after summing up the results,
but before that during the whole process of the day there were several
reasons for worrying. Firstly, the number of the voters, which was
published 2 hours before the voting-1,300,000.
`This worries us a little, as this is the same number as in the 2007
elections. If this continues, it will reach 1,600,000. This is a
worrying rate,' ARF-D Armenia Supreme Body representative Armen
Rustamyan said.
The vanishing stamps in the voters' passports are another reason for
worry. CEC tried to settle the issue by changing the ink, but without
any positive result.
`They tried to settle the situation, instead they made it worse.
Instead, they took such ink which doesn't vanish at all. Isn't this a
violation of the confidentiality of the voter?' Armen Rustamyan said.
After the end of the elections, too, the united headquarters is
continuing the discussions and it will make statements parallel to
summing up the election results.
