Activists who have gathered at the Central Electoral Commission of
Armenia (CEC) protesting against the presidential voting outcome have
laid a wreath at the CEC building observing a minute of silence in
memory of "buried democracy".
ArmInfo's correspondent reported that the police officers tried to
hold the picketers from the wreath laying ceremony, but were reluctant
to retreat facing harsh criticism of the picketers. "Elections in
Armenia have been fake from the very beginning. The fight against
election rigging and illegalities will be continued and reflected in
various forms," says an activist Vahagn Minasyan.
By preliminary data from all the 1988 polling stations, the situation
is as follows:
1. Incumbent president, Leader of the Republican Party of Armenia
Serzh Sargsyan - 58,64% (861160 votes)
2. Leader of Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian - 36,75% (539672)
3. Former Prime Minister Hrant Bagratyan - 2,15%
4. Leader of the Union for National Self-Determination Party Paruyr
Hayrikyan - 1,23%
5. Political expert Andrias Ghoukassyan - 0,57%
6. Expert in epic Vardan Sedrakyan - 0,42%
7. Former FM of NKR Arman Melikyan - 0,24%
The turnout was 68.18% or 1 521 407 voters by preliminary data of
the CEC.
