“No Republican has been punished”
The Armenian National Congress (HAK) will take all legitimate measures to dispute the results of the elections," said leader of the HAK Levon Ter-Petrosyan during today's session at the United Headquarters today.
"We will do what has been done after all the elections to the best of our ability. We haven't been able to do much in the past since opposition forces have complained individually. The electoral commissions aren't recording the violations, and according to the law, if the electoral commission doesn't record the violation, the court doesn't accept it," said Ter-Petrosyan.
Will rallies form a part of the struggle? "I repeat-we will take all legitimate measures," said the First President. Journalists asked whether there would be post-election turbulence.
"What is turbulence? You should ask the authorities that question. We have held peaceful rallies and haven't violated any law. The authorities were the ones that caused turbulence on March 1," said the HAK leader. He also touched upon the overt case of electoral bribes distributed by members of Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) and called the journalists' attention to the fact that the Republican Party of Armenian (HHK) has distributed much more electoral bribes.
"Those who have violated the law should be brought to justice. We know very well what selective punishment means. To this point, no Republican has been punished," said Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
