PanARMENIAN.Net – Police launched investigation into two cases
registered at online iDitord platform which aimed to record electoral
fraud, media expert, iDitord coordinator Samvel Martirosyan said on
May 10.
Martirosyan said he does not know the exact number of launched cases,
adding he has seen these two on the police website.
According to director of Transparency International anti-corruption
center, iDitord coordinator Sona Ayzavyan, police is not much
interested in electoral violations identified through the platform.
“We got a report on electoral bribery in the election office of the
Republican Party of Armenia in Vanadzor. We informed the police,
but they did not take any measures at the moment. And only today we
learned that police officers are leaving for Vanadzor to look into
the case,” she told the journalists on May 10.
Martirosyan agrees with Ayzavyan in this, saying that unlike the
police, Armenia’s Defense Ministry demonstrated much interest towards
violations.
“Defense Ministry showed interest in every single report, asked where
the case was registered and tracked it,” Martirosyan said.
