The parliamentary elections in Armenia are being held on Sunday in 1982 polling stations which will close at 20:00.
“We were informed on an attempt to shot voting process in election cabin in Gegharkunik province. We are scrutinizing the facts of the case,” he told the journalists on Sunday.
According to Mukuchyan an individual who reportedly recorded the voting process was taken to Police office where he refuted the information and said that under the pretext of video recording he was led out of the polling station.
Mukuchayn also said they received 4-5 signals on stuffing, the accuracy of which is currently being checked.
He added that there were no signals on bribing.
