The parliamentary elections held on April 2 was another big step backward for Armenia, stated ORO block in their press release.
"It was not elections, but trade of votes and systematic fraud organized by the authorities. Neither the number of voters announced by the police (2 million 588 thousand), nor the turnout announced by the Central Election Commission (1 million 575 thousand), nor the Republican Party’s 700 thousand votes have any connection with the reality.
The election results do not reflect the real sentiments of our society and the interests of our people. The political force that failed all the areas of domestic and foreign policy does not enjoy even the minimum trust of the people.
Thus, we’ve again received an illegitimate government, as a result of which the political monopoly has become more stronger, the sense of hopelessness and injustice deeper, and the level of migration will rise more, which will seriously endanger the security of our country.
Despite everything, it’s a great honor for us that we will always protect and defend the interests of our people and stay with them like their integral part. We value each vote they had given to our block. We thank our activists and supporters that in this dirty atmosphere they could demonstrated high civic consciousness.
