DEMIRCHIAN LAWYERS ADDRESS ARMENIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT
In lengthy speeches to the Constitutional Court on 5 April, two lawyers for Demirchian argued their case that the February-March presidential elections were marred by constitutional, legal, and procedural violations and that the outcome should therefore be invalidated, RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau reported. Parliament deputy Viktor Dallakian accused electoral commissions of violating nine articles of the constitution and 36 provisions of the election law during the run-up and conduct of the elections, and the state-controlled media of resorting to what he termed "informational terror" against Demirchian and his supporters. He said those violations "significantly affected" the election results. A second lawyer for Demirchian, Ashot Sargsian, emphasized alleged widespread violations during the voting and vote count. LF
