Talking about the results made public by the CEC during a conversation with www.aravot.am, Vahram Harutyunyan, aka Cook, a famous artist, described them as a drawing of bad quality. “They paint badly and the CEC’s painting has a negative impact not only on the people, but also on them. There is a painting that the artist paints, and 100 years are needed to find it useless and for people not to be willing to hang it anywhere. However, even if someone throws a good painting somewhere, it will not perish; someone will pick it up. The painting of the CEC is primitive; not only is it lost on the first day, it is also broken against both their and the people’s heads.” The painter states that the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) figures’ Facebook and other statements are formal, particularly, “The calculations, numbers, everything was prepared in advance. They had made a sketch in advance; then, at the end, they added
paints, and it became a painting. Why, there weren’t voters; people didn’t go. I stood outside a polling station for an hour; 1000 people cannot appear out of the blue. There is time, there are minutes….” Vahram Harutyunyan asserts that on the election day, there was almost no one in the polling station, where he usually votes, whereas in the past, there were lines starting from the lobby. “It doesn’t matter how many speeches Ashotyan and others make, they will just play their part in a performance, which will make people even angrier. One cannot deceive the people; they know that they didn’t go to vote, but it is stated that they actively participated…. People went and wrote on the ballot ‘Levon for president’ or something else; one youth even ate his ballot…. In a nutshell, the people hold a spontaneous demonstration; one should draw respective conclusions from that.”
