YEREVAN.- Serzh Sargsyan’s explanations regarding elections in the Constitutional Court could have given much to the public, former presidential candidate Andreas Ghukasyan told reporters on Monday.

“President as a guarantor of legal order, could have explained conduct of the law enforcers. The number of violations recorded during these elections exceeded those registered during the previous ones,” Ghukasyan noted.

Former candidate said the campaign was accompanied by legal pressure long ago before the elections started. This led to charges against potential candidate, former FM Vartan Oskanian and then to charges brought against former candidate Vardan Sedrakyan.

Law enforcement agencies have not considered any of 187 press reports on violations, Ghukasyan said.

On March 14 Constitutional Court of Armenia rejected the claims filed by former candidates Raffi Hovnnisian and Andreas Ghukasyan who demanded that election results must be recognized invalid.
