The ruling Republican Party (HHK) reacted positively on Wednesday to Western observers' final report on Armenia's parliamentary elections, portraying it as further proof that the May 6 vote was the most democratic in the country's history.
"If they, in their subjective evaluations, see negative things in 9 percent [of polling stations,] that means things were positive in the remaining 91 percent," HHK spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov said, commenting on the report released by an election-monitoring mission deployed by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
"In countries like Armenia moving along the path of democratization, if such an authoritative structure thinks that [voting] in 91 percent [of polling stations] was positive, that is great progress," Sharmazanov told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am).
