    ARMENIAN PRESIDENT WINS LANDSLIDE REELECTION

    Bahrain News Agency, Bahrain
    Feb 19 2013

    10 : 22 AM - 19/02/2013 Yerevana, Feb. 19 (BNA) -- Armenia's Central
    Election Commission has announced that with votes counted from all
    precincts, President Serzh Sarkisian has won a landslide reelection
    victory, taking more than 58 percent of the vote.

    Former Foreign Minister Raffi Hovannisian was a distant second,
    getting 36.7 percent.

    The U.S.-born Hovannisian has refused to concede defeat and has accused
    authorities of carrying out fraud to ensure Sarkisian receives another
    five-year term.

    Officials have acknowledged reports of violations, but have rejected
    claims of a voting fraud conspiracy.

    Voter turnout in the February 18 vote was some 60 percent.
