which was held on May 5.

Faction leader, ANC Party Vice-Chairman Levon Zurabyan stated the
aforesaid during a press conference on Wednesday.
"This does not mean that the Congress representatives were 'shining'
everywhere, [but] those certainly are exceptions," Zurabyan added.
He stressed that ANC, ARF and PAP fought with principle and in the name
of legitimacy. The opposition Heritage Party, on the other hand, as per
Zurabyan, failed and it very often collaborated with the opposite camp.
"The majority [of Heritage] collaborated with the authorities,"
the ANC MP noted.
As for PAP allowing for election violations, Zurabyan stated that
they had received reports that PAP was directing the voters.
He added that the police actions gave no reason to believe that the
law enforcement acted adequately during the vote.
"The Police failed yet again, or became accomplices. Distribution of
election bribe is an operation that comprises thousands of people. It
is impossible to be unable to prevent such operation," Levon Zurabyan
said.
He stressed that the Armenian authorities, led by President Serzh
Sargsyan, are the primary accountable ones for all types of election
violations.
