YEREVAN. – The results of Armenia’s presidential vote, which was conducted on February 18, are rigged, National Assembly (NA) opposition Heritage Faction leader Ruben Hakobyan stated Tuesday at the NA.   

“The official results, which the Central Electoral Commission issued, do not reflect the real picture of the election. The campaign headquarters of [Heritage Party Chairman] Raffi Hovannisian [who is declared runner-up to the winner, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, as a result of the presidential election on February 18, but who claims to be the real winner in the vote] states that it does not recognize the results of this election,” Hakobyan announced.
