An interesting incident took place in the Nor Nork community.

At polling station #2/08, one of the voters, A. Minasyan, took his
ballot paper and, after entering and going out of the polling booth,
stood at the center of the polling station and, crying out `No to the
criminal regime, freedom to Tigran Arakelyan,’ ate up his ballot
paper.

The incident was reported by the Free Journalists Network.

The chairman of the election commission asked the citizen to leave the
polling station and policemen invited him to a separate room.

However, Mr Minasyan demanded the policemen’s explanations for
restricting his freedom of movement, but they could not. Mr Minasyan
left the polling station.
