In the May 6 parliamentary elections the Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) employed new election rigging methods.
At a Thursday meeting of the joint campaign headquarters, Vartan
Oskanian, a member of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), spoke of
phased election rigging: inflated voters' lists, unprecedented voter
turnout early in the morning, vote count, etc..
"After all this, have I the right to doubt that there was a plan,"
Oskanian asked.
He noted that the publication of post-election lists of voters would
answer the questions. However, Armenia's Constitutional Court ruled
such a procedure unconstitutional.
So 86 percent of Armenia's voters participated in the voting, which is
absurd. Even in democratic states voter turnout does not exceed 50%,
Oskanian said.
