Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian President Robert Kocharian stated that
the presidential elections of February 19 of 2007 became the "best
ones in the history of the country".
Mediamax reports that the President stated on late February 26 in an
interview to the Public TV of Armenia that the post-election tenseness
is conditioned mainly by the low level of political culture and the
inability of certain forces to admit their failure.
"A recount of votes was held in 135 polling stations, only in one
of them serious problems were revealed, as a result of which the
chairman of the commission was arrested and the case will soon be
sent to the court. I would like to stress that in 86 out of those
135 polling stations the recount of votes was held by the request of
presidential candidates Levon Ter-Petrosian and Artur Baghdasarian",
Robert Kocharian stated.
According to the President, if the participants of the election
process still have questions, they have the full right to turn to
the Constitutional Court.
