    Unlike international observers, the local ones do not assess the
    elections for the Yerevan City Council unambiguously. Some of the local
    oorganizations have already publicized their preliminary assessment.

    According to the assessment of the Head of the Transparency
    International Organization, Amalia Kostanyan, the electoral system
    of Armenia was finally ruined by yesterday's elections. Observers of
    the organization worked at polling station #33 of the 8th electoral
    district. To remind, this was the district where the Heritage lost
    its places in the electoral commissions.

    Head of the Transparency International said the whole process was
    accompanied by infringements of different scale, there was great
    crowding and stuffing at polling stations. "We think that the elections
    should be declared invalid at least in the 8th district. According to
    our information, this was the worst district, there were no opposition
    representatives in the electoral commissions. Even if there were,
    they would hardly be able to change anything in the atmosphere of
    terror, fear and criminal at the precincts. We really tried, but we
    were physically unable to stay at the polling stations till the end,"
    Amalia Kostanyan said.
