"The maximum possible was done," the chairman of the Union of
Politicians of Armenia Hmayak Hovhannisyan announced today.
After circulating the statement on the elections, the representatives
of the united headquarters of public control of the elections spoke
about both the election violations and about their further activity.
The headquarters issued statements before the elections and on the
election day, alarmed about inflated voting lists, recorded that the
vanishing stamps and the unprecedented queues at the voting stations
had an aim of multiple voting, and after all the headquarters submitted
an application to the Constitutional Court for publishing the lists
of the people who had voted.
PAP member Vartan Oskanyan said that after all this he has only to
ask: "Do I have the right to doubt that there is a state plan behind
all this?"
According to ANC coordinator, there was a state plan on May 6 and
an organized crime took place. With such elections, the authorities
damaged both them and the country.
"By this, they buried their authority, at the same time, damaging
the state," ANC coordinator Levon Zurabyan said.
"The ARF-D Armenia Supreme Body provided the minutes on all the
election violations to ANC for applying to the Constitutional Court,"
the Supreme Body representative Armen Rustamyan said.
ARF-D is sure that the election frauds have influenced the election
results and is also sure that the authorities will state the contrary.
Nevertheless, the three parties included in the united headquarters
will continue to join their efforts to transform the defective
election system and to establish mechanisms of really democratic
elections. Today the headquarters also issued a statement on this. The
political forces didn't specify the forms of the united fight but
they said each of them will also struggle separately, though here,
too, there are uncertainties. For example, in PAP they are still
discussing whether to form a coalition with RPA or not. The party
hasn't still made a decision, but Vartan Oskanyan is sure: "I will
not assume the responsibility of not real coalition agreements".
If the elections were fair, according to Levon Zurabyan, ANC would
have 50 MPs' mandates in the parliament. Today it has only 7 and is
not going to withdraw from them.
"On the contrary, we must seek bringing the 43 back. We are going to
the parliament with that aim," Levon Zurabyan said.
The plan of making a system authority change, about which ARF-D
announced still before the elections, remains unchanged. The party
goes to the parliament for that not ruling out the fight outside the
walls of the National Assembly, either: "Who said the fight in the
streets will be ruled out, if we are entering the National Assembly?
Does becoming a parliamentary force mean that a force just comes into
the parliament from outside and that's all? One is going to supplement
the other. We are going to take steps both in the National Assembly
and outside it".
