The political Council of "Orinats Yerkir" opposition party (leader-ex-Speaker Artur Baghdasaryan) made a statement "condemning mass violations during the May 12 parliamentary elections and the returns, which were received in the result of those violations". The statement reads as follows, "The party indicates that during the voting process and count of votes serious violations were fixed. Display of terrorism, mass distribution of bribes, ballot stuffing, crying shortcomings during count of votes and distortion of real results are bases for casting doubt on lawfulness of elections. "Orinats Yerkir" declares authorities carried out a deliberate pressure policy on the party, as well as other methods of decreasing the number of votes received by "Orinats Yerkir". Party declares it is going to launch a process of challenging the results of voting in the court demanding to revise the returns and just for this very reason the party will not undersign the final protocol of the CEC on the results of voting".
