OPPOSITION WILL NOT GIVE UP HABIT OF APPEALING ELECTION RETURNS, ARMENIAN PRIME MINISTER CONSIDERS

Armenian prime minister Andranik Margarian supposed that as before the opposition would not give up its habit of appealing elections returns and stating they were falsified. However, as he told journalists after voting at a polling place today, “it is the real picture of the elections and the degree to which the opposition dissatisfaction is unbiased that is important.” In his words, “further developments will depend on the steps opposition takes and the opposition candidate Stepan Demirchian’s team.”
