YEREVAN. – A voter with a forged passport left it in the hands of a
member of the election commission and fled. This fact was presented to
journalists by Hovsep Khurshud, the spokesman for election
headquarters of presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian.

`Of course, we had no right to withdraw it from the hands of the
citizen. But when he gave it to a member of the Electoral Commission
who asked his father’s name, the citizen was at loss what to say.
Being confused, he ran from the area, leaving the passport in the
hands of members of the Commission,’ Khurshudyan told reporters on
Monday.

Another example given by them was a repeated ballot. The case was
registered in Yerevan Kanaker-Zeytun administrative district where the
chairman of one of the local election commissions went to vote at a
nearby station, where he met his neighbor. Returning to his duties as
the chairman at his polling station, he met the same neighbor who
wanted to vote again.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
