During the vote counting at poling station 10/19, CEC member Zoya Tadevosyan left the precinct with Nikol Pashinyan's proxies and observers declaring the election results as fabricated.

Commission chairman Gagik Baghdasaryan tried to stop them and even ordered to close the doors but all his efforts were in vain.

Seeing that Pashinyan was leading they forged over 200 ballot papers. I am sure that the fake ballots were cast by Chairman Gagik Baghdasaryan. He regularly left the safe open. Meanwhile, we were forbidden to come closer to the safe and soon the voters' lists and registration books disappeared one after another," observer Aghavni Melikbekyan told A1+.

Only in the presence of Ara Simonyan's proxies, the election commission started vote counting. David Hakobyan was announced to have gained 6 votes, Ara Simonyan 400 and Nikol Pashinyan 176 votes. Pashinyan's proxies are going to challenge the election results of the precinct.
