[Presenter] The leader of the [opposition] People’s Party of Armenia,
Stepan Demirchyan, cast his vote at polling station No 10/31 in Yerevan
at 1100 [0600 gmt].

Demirchyan said he did not think of anything before he marked his
ballot paper. The party leader told journalists that he only wanted
Armenia to be a respected country and he regretted that his daughter
could not cast her vote today because she studies in Moscow.

Demirchyan promised that he would keep a close eye on the voting
process and if the election is rigged he would try to prevent it.

[Demirchyan] My daughter wanted to participate in the election, but I
regret that she cannot do so because she is currently in Moscow, and
people cannot vote abroad for now.
