PanARMENIAN.Net - Election office of parliamentary candidate Manuel
Gasparyan reports that at 11:10 a.m. representative of the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia attacked proxy of the opposition Armenian
National Congress Levon Avetisyan and threatened with assault after
elections.
According to iDitord website, a platform for reporting election
inaccuracies and violations, the head of the electoral commission and
a police officer were addressed to deal with this. However, they said
it is none of their business.
Parliamentary elections feature 8 political parties, Republican Party
of Armenia (RPA), Prosperous Armenia, ARF Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD),
Orinats Yerkir, Heritage, Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA), Communist
Party of Armenia and United Armenian party, as well as one election
bloc represented by opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC).
To enter the parliament, Armenian National Congress (ANC) must
overcome 7% threshold as a bloc, unlike the parties, which need 5%
threshold level.
647 international and over 31 thous. local observers will monitor the
parliamentary elections in Armenia. OSCE/ODIHR (258 observers), OSCE
Parliamentary Assembly (69), PACE (37), CIS Interparliamentary
Assembly (22), as well as International Foundation for Electoral
Systems (IFES) and SILBA international organization have deployed
observer missions in Armenia.
The preliminary results will be published no later than 24 hours after
the voting, with final results to be released on the seventh day
starting the voting day.
