16:33 - 18.02.13
Karo Karapetyan, a member of the Prosperous Armenia parliamentary
group, was present at polling station #11/17 in Artashat, without any
specific status.
His presence was video recorded by Azatutyun Radio.
On seeing the journalist, the MP immediately left the premises, crying
out `Stop recording!'
Although the secretary of the election commission assured the
journalist that Karo Karapetyan was not on the list of proxies,
Chairman of the election commission Ruben Avetisyan told the
journalist that Mr Karapetyan was standing proxy for incumbent
President Serzh Sargsyan, who is running for his second term.
In response to a remark that Mr Karapetyan is not on the proxies list,
Mr Avetisyan said with surprise, `is he not?' Then he said that Mr
Karapetyan was not in the premises `at the moment.' The journalist
told him that Mr Karapetyan had been there for a long time. `For a
long time?' was Mr Avetisyan's reply.
