Yerevan, May 14. /Mediamax/. Leader of the People’s Party of Armenia
(NPA) Stepan Demirchian stated in Yerevan today that he does not
recognize the parliamentary elections in Armenia as "free and fair"
and considers the data of CEC on the results of elections "not
corresponding to the reality".

Mediamax reports that, speaking at a news conference in Yerevan today,
Stepan Demirchian stated that "the authorities did everything possible
to prevent the PPA from entering the parliament".

According to Demirchian, "the bribery of electors had mass nature on
May 12".

"The system was well organized, the Central Electoral Commission was
its accomplice", leader of PPA stated.

According to him, many violations took place before the start of
the elections, and on the day of the voting the violations were
taking place outside the polling stations. At the same time, Stepan
Demirchian admitted, the PPA does not have factual proofs of the
violations realized.

The PPA leader stated that the party has not yet decided upon the
further steps and noted that he considers it premature talking about
his participation in the presidential elections of 2008.
