Threatened ANC representatives?
"These elections were extremely unruly. There was ineptness everywhere and in every issue. The organizers of these elections, starting from the Central Electoral Commission, feel no responsibility for this significant event in the country," said head of the "Heritage" party administration Anahit Bakhshyan as she expressed her profound disappointment with the elections during a press conference today.
Bakhshyan was especially surprised by the observatory organizations with the strange names, for instance, "AIDS prevention center", "Avet" educational/methodological center and others which, according to Bisharyan, are everything but observers.
"They didn't calculate or follow upon the process. They just stuff at the right moment, just like what happened at the 8/6 polling station at 7:50 p.m.," said Bakhshyan.
Mrs. Bakhshyan expressed concerns over the behavior of police officers during the entire electoral process. There were six police officers at each precinct and each of them, according to her, was playing cards in a closed section or doing something else. Bakhshyanh says that there was lack of discipline everywhere. There were many disputes and mainly with the Armenian National Congress representatives. As Mrs. Bakhshyan says, the ANC representatives were mainly complaining that they had received threats and were thrown out of precincts. Bakhshyan personally witnessed such cases in the Malatia-Sebastia district where there were rarely any ANC representatives at the precinct.
"Heritage" MP Zaruhi Postanjyan mentioned that the process was under the control of the authorities. She also recalled the roll calls with lists of people's names and the transfer of people by cars. Stepan Safaryan listed all the electoral violations registered by the "Heritage" party observers.
