There was competition on Election Day. The Chairwoman of Transparency
International ant-corruption center Sona Aivazian expressed this
opinion at a press conference today.
The center was one of the non-governmental organizations carrying
out the observation mission during the May 5 elections to the Yerevan
Council of Elders.
According to S. Aivazian, Transparency International Center recorded
570 violations during the May 5 elections, but did not inform the
Armenian police because it considers this step inefficient.
"It was expected that the elections will be rigged, but the opposition
forces, including Prosperous Armenia Party, were expected to receive
more votes," she said.
In the words of Sona Aivazian, their center collected numerous facts
and video materials and is ready to submit the facts to those political
forces which intend to challenge the results of the elections to
Yerevan Council of Elders.
The speaker noted that most reports about violations were related to
gatherings at polling stations and the presence of strangers there,
transportation of voters to polling stations, distribution of color
pens, and pressure on voters.
