Decision 2013: Western investment v Russian commandos as likely post-election dilemma for Armenia

The third interim report of the OSCE/ODIHR on the presidential election in Armenia cast some doubts about the fairness of the vote that is being disputed by the officially defeated opposition candidate. The report published on Saturday noted "implausibly high" voter turnout at many precincts where incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, the now certified winner of the election, carried the poll. In fact, the leading Western vote-monitoring group hints that Sargsyan won in the mentioned areas due to ballot-stuffing, vote list manipulations and other administrative violations.
