- Passports and visa department of Armenia's Police responded to the application-complaint of candidate Saribek Sukiasyan's electoral headquarters over thousands of inaccuracies in the voters' lists. According to the response, the Police have not registered any fact of illegal registration.

If the building where people lived has been destroyed, we cannot withdraw people from registration,' Hovhannes Kocharyan, head of Police's passports and visa department, told Tert.am. 'If a person does not provide his/her new address in a written form we do not have any right to withdraw him/her from the existing address and register in another one,' he added. The officials of Saribek Sukiasyan headquarters have personally visited all the addresses to check the names in the voting lists and discovered 1080 unknown people, 170 dead people and 7674 people registered in destroyed buildings, houses where no one lives. As to the names of dead people in the list, Kocharyan said they have been revealed on the basis of information provided by Sukiasyan's headquarter. 'We found 5-6 names. The names of many of dead people we have found ourselves,' Kocharyan said.
