Authorities preparing `dirty operation` -  Mother Armenia bloc 

ArmInfo. Having failed to achieve the desired result following the elections to the Council of  Elders of Yerevan, the Armenian authorities are preparing a "dirty operation". The leader of the "Mother Armenia" bloc, former deputy of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Andrannik Tevanyan  stated this in his video message.

According to him, today the country's authorities intend to conduct a  recount of votes in all polling stations and ensure the required  number of votes. "Those 100 votes, in the absence of which they lost,  the authorities want to falsify the election results, taking away one  mandate from our people," Tevanyan said.

He once again expressed gratitude to the voters who came to the  polling stations and showed the country's ruling party, the Civil  Contract, its place on the political stage of the republic. <Thus,  voters clearly stated the lack of public trust in Nikol Pashinyan (RA  Prime Minister - ed.). I do not blame those who did not come to the  elections, since everyone has their own motivation, but, regardless  of who took part in the elections and who did not participate in  them, if today Nikolovites suddenly decide to appropriate part of the  electorate for themselves, thereby stealing They need one mandate so  much, I urge everyone to take to the streets and become masters of  their voice. I call on all socio-political forces to be prepared to  take to the streets if the "Civil Contract" suddenly decides to  brazenly falsify the election results. They are preparing to do this  in the most obvious way," Tevanyan said.

He added that the authorities, seeing that they could not otherwise  solve the problem that had arisen for them, decided to carry out  fraud by recounting the votes. Tevanyan noted that the bloc's proxies  will be present at the vote recount process, but the people must be  ready to take to the streets. <Today a very important issue is being  decided, and if there really are attempts to falsify the election  results, we will all have to fight decisively. I warn <Civil  Contract> not to dare to do this. Responsibility for everything they  are going to do will rest entirely with them. They are starting to  lose power, and we will be consistent in this matter," noted the  former deputy of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia.

According to the voting results received from all 475 polling  stations, the ruling Civil Contract party and the leader of its list,  Vice Mayor Tigran Avinyan, are in the lead, with 32.57% of voters  voting for them. In second place with 18.89% of the vote is the  National Progress party, led by the former mayor of Yerevan Hayk  Marutyan. The "Mother Armenia" bloc, led by former deputy of the  National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Andranik Tevanyan,  closes the top three. According to preliminary data, the bloc  receives 15.43% of the votes.
