ANC claims of numerous violations they managed to prevent
" Flagrant violations happening right now during the process of vote counting proves only, that even after such wide-scale falsifications authorities are still not confident, that the question is ultimately determined for their benefit," Arman Musinyan, press-secretary of ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosyan, told journalists.

Arman Musinyan informed journalist about kidnapping of Anushvan Nikoghosyan, member of divisional election committee from the "Heritage" party from the № 5/15 polling station. According to Arman Musinyan, "not elections but violation of elections" took place at the №7 and №8 polling stations in Malatia - Sebastia community, journalists from 4 Armenian newspapers, as well as an observer from Transparency International, who tried to prevent falsifications, were beaten.

Musinyan told journalists, that during press conference he received a message about theft attempt of a ballot box from the 5/10 polling station.

In respect to making protocols on violations during elections, according to Arman Musinyan, there have been some impediments at Malatia-Sebastia's polling stations, but at other places authorized representatives of the Armenian National Congress managed to prevent and record in written form the overwhelming number of all violations, Arman Musinyan said.
