Tigran Karapetyan, leader of the People's Party, stated to "Hetq" that the results of yesterday's municipal elections do not reflect reality. His party only received 2.14% of the vote according to official results. "I'm not talking about my party's votes. I'm referring to the elections process. The voting must be voluntary but they are directed with bribes and fraud," he stated. He claimed that all were responsible for the situation, but most especially the regime. "They literally brought the votes to the polling stations. The regime isn't worthy of those votes." Mr. Karapetyan also criticized the statement of the head of the Council of Europe’s Congress of Local and Regional Authorities that declared the vote to be in line with European standards. He said that the international monitors probably visited only a few polling stations were the vote proceeded normally. "They should have gone to the Zatikyan School, to P.S. #39, to see what was going on." Mr. Karapetyan said that he would call a press conference tomorrow to protest the election and that the People's Party would chart its future course of action in an upcoming congress. He said that the party did not intend to contest the election results in court since it would be a waste of time. He added that if he represented the HAK (Armenian National Congress) he would not take seats won in the Yerevan City Council and that he expected HAK to so the same.
