Politics

“Nothing extraordinary has taken place. Regular discrediting elections have taken place and the powers have discriminated the nation’s will”, announced the RA First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan, appealing to the 200 thousand participants of the gathering.

Ter-Petrsoyan ensured everyone that the authorities knew what had happened in fact. “I just want to point out that despite the efforts of the authorities and criminal world – bribes, violations, stuffing, the nation’s candidate has already won”, said Ter-Petrosyan. “Levon President”, “Levon President” – responded the participants. “Everything took place after 20.00 p.m.. After 20.00 they searched, thought and published the numbers, which are known to. Everything took place by force, through skirmish and threatens. Our proxies and observers carried out their duties properly. All polling stations, particularly where the authorities knew they were defeated, the stations were surrounded by the representatives of the authorities, who were protected by police, security service and special military servants. The first most illegal and criminal problem was solved by the CEC at 20.00 p.m.. The CEC announced allegedly 1 million 640 thousand people had participated in the elections. We declare with responsibility that the total number of voters is 1 million 700 thousand people in the whole RA territory. And I declare that only 1 million 100 thousand people have participated in the elections.”

Ter-Petrosyan ensured that 500 thousand was the number that always alarmed him. “This has happened in 1998 and 2003. The authorities have published 500 thousand additional ballot papers. We warned the international organizations and observers, and I pity that they did not treat it seriously”. One of the factors of the election riggings, according to Ter-Petrosyan, was the fake passports and mass distribution of registration papers. “We had pointed out the means to fight against the riggings. The international observers did not treat our suggestions seriously. In my opinion, international organizations and observers are responsible for the election frauds”.
