YEREVAN, AUGUST 29, NOYAN TAPAN. At the August 29 sitting, the RA
Central Electoral Commission (CEC) registered the member of Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) Khachik Manukian as a NA deputy. The decision of
the district electoral commission No 15 on election of the NA deputy by
the majoritarian system from the indicated district was taken as the
basis. The protocol was signed by all the eight members of the CEC,
including the representative of the "Heritage" party Zoya Tadevosian.
To recap, among rivals of K. Manukian in this electoral district was
Raffi Hovannisian, the leader of the "Heritage" party and the head of
NA "Heritage" faction, who stated the day before that the elections
were held in a unfree and unfair atmosphere. Z. Tadevosian shared the
opinion of her party's leader. However, in response to reporters'
questions, she said that "all electoral falsifications take place
outside the polling stations: these are electoral bribes, guidance
of voters, use of power levers, confusion of passport addresses" and
for this reason she did not decline to sign the protocol of the CEC.
