CASES OF VOTE STUFFING REVEALED

Politics

There was a hustle and bustle at Precinct 5/23, Arabkir, at about 6 o’clock p.m. Over ten fellows were “seriously engaged in something.” They seemed to be putting in a bulb. In fact, some of them were standing on the table, while the others were stuffing ballots in the ballot-box.

By the way, the chairman of the commission was standing aside taking no preventive measures.

All of a sudden, one of the voters who had probably noticed the stuffing ran up to the group and grasped the last ballot.

“Shame on you. You are rigging the election. Don’t you feel shame at it?” the middle-aged voter told the chairman. Then he opened the parcel and gave it to us. “Look! The eighth candidate, Serzh Sarkissian, is ticked off.” The representative of the “Zharangutiun” (Heritage) Party confirmed it.

A1+ was recording the incident. On seeing A1+'s camera, the fellows attacked our cameraman.

The chairman called the presentees to order. Meanwhile, the guys left the room. But they didn't leave the building. They were “hiding” on the second floor waiting for us.

Fortunately, our journalists left the building safe and unharmed as the police saw them off the precinct.
