Random check-ups at the electors' addresses will give no results

June 1, 2009 - 20:42 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - At today's news conference organized by "Transparency International Armenia" and "Armenian Committee of Helsinki Civil Assembly" Vanadzor Office, organizations' leaders made statements on numerous violations during yesterday's elections into the Council of Elders.



"Never in their lives did our observers feel so ashamed," "Armenian Committee of Helsinki Civil Assembly" Vanadzor Office Coordinator Arthur Sakunts spoke of the elections.



Bakunts expressed his readiness to visit voters at their apartments to clarify whether they participated in the elections, using the help of police and public prosecutor's office representatives.



Yet Amaliya Kostanyan, "Transparency International Armenia" Chairman, voiced her doubts about effectiveness of check up, noting that "people are scared, and the check up will give no results". She also stated that she sees no opportunity to collaborate with state authorities, believing such attempts to be futile.
