The deputy prosecutor also mentioned that “the elections held on the 19th of February were run with rough breaches, that so many beatings, falsifications, and throwing of so many ballots had never been before during any elections in Armenia” “I am making an appeal to all of you to stand up for your votes. It is high time to get involved in a struggle and to establish the supremacy of the law in this country”, - he announced.
