As expected, Serzh Sargsyan's pledges that the authorities will
reveal the violations that occurred on February 18 and punish the
vote riggers were part of a regular charade.
On April 2, the Special Investigation Service of the Republic of
Armenia examined the election documents of polling station 17/05
in the Ararat region. The Service "discovered" that the commission,
which was composed mainly of representatives of the Republican Party
of Armenia, committed violations ... in favor of Raffi Hovannisian.
This is the polling station in which falsifiers physically arrested
Transparency International observer Narine Esmaeili, forced her to
stop video recording, and stuffed the ballot box with hundreds of
ballots. Any legitimate investigation had to conduct a graphological
analysis of the signatures-commensurate with the number of stuffed
ballots-that appeared on the registration list in order to reveal who
actually signed in the names of absent citizens. Investigators had
to determine the citizens who, according to the registration list,
cast a vote without being present, and proceed to discover how their
names came to be signed. Our de facto law enforcers did none of the
above, making it clear that they purchased their higher education
diplomas not to seek and serve the truth but to blindly fulfill the
demands of higher authorities.
Recent proceedings, instituted by the Military Prosecutor's Office
over the photograph taken at 29/13 polling station (attached to this
statement), have been suspended for lack of corpus delicti. The
photograph shows the precinct officer-in serious violation of the
Electoral Code-standing very close to the voting conscript.
Another case-based on the testimony of ballot stuffing recorded by
Syuzi Aleksanyan, a member of the 8/23 precinct electoral commission
at Yerevan's Malatia-Sebastia district, who was offered a bribe to
withhold her evidence-was also suspended for lack of corpus delicti.
Incumbent de facto president Serzh Sargsyan has therefore made it
clear to that he will side with criminal against citizen, and support
and employ even the most blatant violators of the law.
We strongly condemn the criminal behavior of law enforcement bodies
aimed at covering up election violations and vote riggers. By endorsing
and enabling such criminal behavior, Serzh Sargsyan, as the gaurantor
of the Constitution, has effectively resigned from his primary duties
and functions.
