    "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.
