Video Report: Mysterious Woman in Black Creates Trouble at Shengavit Polling Station
Here’s a scene from the 12/34 polling station in Yerevan’s Shengavit district.
The woman in the photo holding a bunch of papers alleged to be a copy of the local voting rolls is Marineh Hakobyan. For most of the day she has been seen strolling around outside the polling station and sometimes popping inside asking about the voting numbers.
Andranik Haroutyunyan, the proxy of Heritage Party MP Anahit Bakhshyan, noticed the woman and her suspicious activities. He asked the woman what she was up to.
Marineh Hakobyan then spoke to a group of unidentified men who were also hanging around, complaining that Haroutyunyan had approached her. The woman stormed into the polling station, confronted Haroutyunyan and started cursing.
MP Bakhshyan made a call to Sousanna Sargsyan, who heads the local election commission, telling her that if “that woman isn’t removed from the premises she would file a complaint with the Prosecutor’s Office.”
A number of unidentified law-enforcement personnel were also in the polling station. They claimed that they had been ordered there but refused to say by whom.
