YEREVAN Armenia, May 18
Armenia's Communist Party said Friday that parliamentary elections
held on May 6 "were rigged".
"We are confident that our party has received a couple of times more
than the officially announced 16,000 votes," said Ruben Tovmasyan,
first secretary of the Communist Party of Armenia, in a press
conference.
According to the elections results released by the Central Electoral
Commission of Armenia (CEC) on May 7, President Serzh Sargsyan's
Republican Party had won a majority, or, at least 68 of the 131 seats,
in the National Assembly and its coalition partner, the Prosperous
Armenia Party, received 30.2 percent of the votes.
In contrast, the Communist Party of Armenia received 1.5 percent of the votes.
