YEREVAN. – Violations at the elections are always attributed to the winner. That’s the situation in the political field of any country, said Vahram Baghdasaryan, the head of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia, in an interview with Armenian News -NEWS.am, commenting on Serzh Sargsyan’s statement about conducting flawless elections in 2017.

When asked, how the Republican Party is going to carry out flawless elections, when there were constantly registered falsifications during its ruling period, Baghdasaryan said: “After the constitutional reforms, we carried only local elections, during which there was no discontent. You know, that the losers do not always take their defeat, and that they always have excuses. We have tried to eliminate all shortcomings in the new Electoral Code and did it, collaborating with the opposition, civil society representatives and consulting with international organizations. However, apart from this beautiful law, we also need a political will,” said Baghdasaryan.

He also appealed to all opposition parties to appoint members of the commission in all constituencies and proxies to make it possible to control the election process with observers at the proper level.
