YEREVAN. - The political majority in Armenia thinks it earned the
unconditional trust of the people in the past elections, but we are
confident that the authorities broke the electoral system, and nothing
in the country is decided by elections.
Opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party National Assembly (NA) Faction
member Aghvan Vardanyan noted the aforesaid during Wednesday's NA
discussions on the government program.
`There were two typical incidents for me in the last [capital city
Yerevan Council of Elders] elections [that were conducted on May 5].
They show a footage when a `neighborhood guy' had made uproar in the
polling station, [but] the four persons in police uniform did not dare
to restrain that `neighborhood guy.'
The second footage: The journalists ask the PM [that] there are
reports that election bribes are distributed. The PM says it is a lie.
Tens of thousands of Yerevan residents received that election bribe,
[and] thousands distributed [it]; that many people know what is going
on. This contradiction between words and reality is the accurate
description of our life,' the opposition MP maintained, in particular.
