Presidential candidate, ex-minister of foreign affairs of the Nagorno-
Karabakh Republic Arman Melikyan has once again applied to the Central
Electoral Commission of Armenia and to the observation missions to
satisfy his proposal and to publish the specific data of the citizens
absent from the republic.
This will make the election more transparent and will allow avoiding
possible fraud, he says.
Melikyan's open letter says that during the May 2012 parliamentary
election the authorities "used in their favor" the votes of over
500 thsd voters absent from the republic. Melikyan says that his
campaign headquarters is conducting its own survey concerning the
citizens absent from Armenia and will publish the results within the
next few days. However, the candidate assures that according to the
preliminary results of the headquarters' survey, one can state that
over 1 mln voters are absent from the republic, and the authorities
will use their votes "at their own discretion".
In addition, the candidate speaks about cases of collection of the
citizens' passports, as well as blackmailing, bribery and intimidation.
