According to international observers, presidential and parliamentary elections in 2003 below international standards ("Country Report on Human Rights Practices 2005") [#46111],  [ID 17109]

"International observers found the 2003 presidential and parliamentary elections to be well below international standards. There were serious irregularities, including ballot box stuffing, discrepancies in vote counts, partisan election commissions, and wide use of public resources to support the incumbent president. Domestic observers noted similar irregularities in local elections in September and October."

Presidential and parliamentary elections well below international standards ("International Religious Freedom Report 2004") [#26258],  [ID 2853]

"International observers found both the 2003 presidential and parliamentary elections to be well below international standards. There were serious irregularities, including ballot box stuffing, discrepancies in vote counts, partisan election commissions, and wide use of public resources to support the incumbent president.

Authorities harassed opposition supporters, including arrests. Unlike in previous years, there were no reports of punitive job dismissals. In Yerevan, more than 200 persons were detained between the 2 rounds of the presidential election in February and March 2003 for participating in unsanctioned campaign rallies.

Opposition candidates filed several legal complaints with the Constitutional Court challenging the results of the presidential election. In March 2003, the high court said it had identified irregularities and criticized the Government's handling of the electoral process; however, it ruled that there was no constitutional basis to change the outcome of the election.

From March through May, opposition groups demonstrated in the capital and other major cities to demand a referendum on the mandate of the President. At the height of a protest on April 12, approximately 10,000 individuals gathered in front of the National Assembly. Police used excessive force to disperse some 1,000 protesters in the early morning hours of April 13 (see Section 2.b.)."

Presidential elections marred by widespread voting irregularities ("Annual Report 2004") [#22630],  [ID 2854]

"In March incumbent President Kocharian won presidential elections that were marred by widespread voting irregularities, including ballot box stuffing, and intimidation and violence towards independent and opposition election monitors. Mass opposition rallies protested at illegal election practices. Following international criticism, the President acknowledged that the elections had not met international standards and set up a commission of inquiry to investigate reported irregularities. Nevertheless, parliamentary elections in May were likewise flawed by reported ballot box stuffing and intimidation of international observers. Parties that supported the President won a large majority in parliament."

Some 100 protesters who participated in peaceful demonstrations after presidential elections reportedly sentenced to short prison terms ("Annual Report 2004") [#22630],  [ID 2855]

"Some 100 protesters who participated in peaceful demonstrations after the presidential elections were reportedly sentenced to short prison terms after being convicted of disrupting public order. Reportedly denied access to lawyers, they were sentenced in closed trials without legal representation. In April the Armenian Constitutional Court declared the arrests unlawful.

Prisoner of conscience Artur Sakunts, Chairman of the Vanadzor branch of the Helsinki Citizens Assembly (HCA), was released from prison on 25 March after serving a 10-day sentence. He was arrested after he attempted to organize a public meeting on 15 March on the findings of HCA election monitoring. He was tried the same day and convicted of “disobeying the authorities” (Article 182 of the Armenian Administrative Code). He was not permitted access to a lawyer before or during his trial. His arrest and the firebombing of the Vanadzor HCA office in the early hours of 14 March raised fears of a campaign to prevent the HCA from carrying out legitimate human rights work."

Results of the first and second round ("Background information; situation of ethnic minorities; groups possibly at risk: religious minorities, members of opposition, homosexuals, deserters") [#47207],  [ID 2851]

"43. On 20 February, the CEC (Central Electoral Commission) announced preliminary results of the presidential election. The official tally showed that of 1,418,811 votes for the nine candidates, incumbent Robert Kocharyan received 707,155 votes (49.84%), just short of the required majority necessary to win in the first round, while his closest competitor, Stepan Demirchyan, received 400,846 (28.25%). Based on these results the CEC announced that a second round would be held on 5 March 2003 between Kocharyan and Demirchyan. The official results were announced five days later, showing that the incumbent’s percentage fell slightly to 49.48%, while Demirchyan’s total also fell slightly to 28.22%.
44. The preliminary results for the second round, announced by the CEC on 6 March 2003, showed that Robert Kocharyan won with 1,044,801 votes (67.52%), while Stepan Demirchyan had received 503,136 votes (32.48%). Once again, the preliminary results were announced without a detailed breakdown to polling station level. The official results were issued five days later; the EOM (Election Observation Mission) was provided with detailed results at that time."

The failure of the 2003 presidential election to meet international standards lay not in technical or procedural lapses, but in a lack of sufficient political determination by the authorities to ensure a fair and honest process ("Background information; situation of ethnic minorities; groups possibly at risk: religious minorities, members of opposition, homosexuals, deserters") [#47207],  [ID 2852]

"33. According to the Election Observation Mission of the OSCE ODIHR, the 19 February and 5 March 2003 presidential election in the Republic of Armenia fell short of international standards for democratic elections. While the election involved a vigorous countrywide campaign, the overall process failed to provide equal conditions for the candidates. Voting, counting and tabulation showed serious irregularities, including widespread ballot box stuffing.
34. The newly amended Electoral Code provided a basis for the conduct of elections in compliance with international standards. However, the Code was not implemented with sufficient political determination to meet OSCE commitments for democratic elections.
35. The field of nine candidates provided voters with a genuine choice and opposition candidates did not hesitate to criticize the incumbent. However, the political atmosphere was charged and marred by intimidation, isolated disruption of campaign events and one serious violent incident. Public resources were widely used in support of the incumbent.
36. The second round was clouded by the administrative detentions of over 200 opposition supporters, in contravention of OSCE commitments and a resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Over 80 people were sentenced to up to 15 days in jail, often in closed hearings and without the benefit of legal counsel. Some opposition leaders made intemperate statements, including calls for unconstitutional action, although the opposition candidate in the second round called on his supporters to take only action in accordance with the law. Rallies and demonstrations remained largely peaceful.
37. According to observers, public television and the major State-funded newspaper were heavily biased in favour of the incumbent, failing to comply with their legal obligation to provide balanced reporting on candidates or with OSCE commitments on equal access to the media. Independent television A1+ remained off the air throughout the election. A positive development in the second round was the first television debate between presidential candidates ever to take place in Armenia.
38. In general, the election administration efficiently completed the technical preparations for the election. The formula for appointing election commission members led to politically imbalanced commissions in which most opposition candidates had little confidence. The Central Election Commission (CEC) did not publish a prompt and detailed breakdown of preliminary results, contributing to further lack of confidence in the process. Despite useful efforts to improve the voter lists, they remained problematic.
39. Voting and counting were generally calm but severely flawed. Although the majority of polling stations visited were well run, international observers confirmed widespread irregularities of many types, notably ballot box stuffing, around the country. There were significant discrepancies and implausible figures in the tabulated results for a large number of polling stations. A positive development was the presence of a large number of domestic observers.
40. The complaints and appeals processes did not provide effective remedies for complainants. The failure of the authorities to take action in the face of clear violations of the law was of particular concern, especially in the period between the two rounds of voting.
41. Two cases were brought to the Constitutional Court contesting separately the outcome of each round. The cases were heard and underwent rigorous, public, and thorough examination by the Court. Neither complaint was upheld, although the Court confirmed that a number of serious electoral violations had taken place. The Court also made a number of recommendations for improved implementation of the legislative and administrative frameworks.
42. The failure of the 2003 presidential election to meet international standards lay not in technical or procedural lapses, but in a lack of sufficient political determination by the authorities to ensure a fair and honest process. Restoring confidence in the election process will require prompt and vigorous action by the authorities, including a clear assumption of responsibility and holding accountable those who violated the law, particularly those in official positions who did so."

"Stepan Demirchian, 43
An electrical engineer by training who has managed a largely stagnant electronics plant in Yerevan since 1988. He is the younger son of the late Communist Party First Secretary Karen Demirchian -- a fact which has greatly contributed to his successful election campaign. Demirchian is backed by the People’s Party of Armenia, founded by his father in 1998, and 12 other opposition groups. Demirchian promises to revive those Soviet-era industries which can successfully operate in a market-based economy. He also pledges to ensure the rule of law, combat corruption and fill the government with “honest and competent” specialists.

Robert Kocharian, 48
An electrical engineer by training who was born in and governed Nagorno-Karabakh from 1992 until he was appointed Armenian prime minister in 1997. Kocharian became president in 1998 shortly after he and the key government ministers forced then President Levon Ter-Petrosian into resignation. Kocharian says that the socioeconomic situation in Armenia has improved under his rule. His economic program promises a “further strengthening of the foundations of liberal economics and property rights.” If reelected, Kocharian vows to ensure continued economic growth of 8 to 12 percent per annum, improve public services and turn Armenia into “the most organized state of the region.” That, he says, would translate into at least 35,000 new jobs each year. Kocharian also says Armenia should seek closer ties with both Russia and the West in line with its “complementary” foreign policy. On the question of Nagorno-Karabakh, he promises to achieve “international recognition” of the Karabakh Armenians’ right to self-determination. Kocharian is supported by more than a dozen political groups, notably the Republican Party of Armenia and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun)."

Election process fell short of international standards in several key respects ("OSCE/ODIHR/PACE International Election Observation Mission: Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions") [#10959],  [ID 2864]

"The 19 February 2003 presidential election in the Republic of Armenia was generally calm and well administered but the counting process was flawed and the long-term election process fell short of international standards in several key respects. [...]
A number of important positive elements were evident in the election process:
The participation of nine candidates provided voters with a genuine choice;
There was a vigorous, country-wide campaign, with active public participation and in which opposition candidates did not hesitate to criticize the authorities;
A recently amended election law provides a basis for democratic elections;
The election administration carried out the technical preparations for the election in a satisfactory manner;
The voting, counting and tabulation processes were generally transparent; and
The voter lists were improved, although they remained problematic.

Despite these positive factors, a number of significant shortcomings in regard to international standards were apparent:
The pre-election period was marred by intimidation and by incidents of disruption of campaign events, including a serious instance of violence;
There was evidence of pre-election manipulations, such as schemes to impersonate voters and use of inducements to secure votes;
Public resources were heavily used in support of the incumbent, representing a pattern of unequal treatment of candidates by the authorities; and
Public TV failed to comply with its legal obligation to provide balanced and unbiased reporting on candidates, violating the principle of equal access for all candidates.

On election day observers reported an essentially transparent process and that voting was generally calm and correctly conducted. Substantial numbers of candidate proxies and domestic observers monitored the process. However, a number of serious irregularities took place, including instances of ballot-box stuffing. [...]
The incumbent President was nominated by an initiative group, but he had the backing of about a dozen political parties or other organizations. Seven of the other eight candidates were leaders of political parties. Efforts by several of the opposition parties to unify behind a single candidate were not successful. [...]
There are no legal barriers to participation by women in the political process. Although there were no women candidates in this election, a number of women were active in the election process through participation in the election administration, political parties and NGOs. Women are seriously underrepresented in elected positions at all levels in Armenia;"

President reportedly used his control of the state apparatus to unfairly boost his campaign and to minimize the space given to his opponents ("A First-Round Victory for Kocharian?") [#11283],  [ID 2865]

"While opinion polls suggest that somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of the population will turn out, the election campaign has been marked by a sense of disillusion and marred by persistent allegations of violations. These include the decision by the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) to prevent a leading challenger from standing. Raffi Hovannisian, Armenia’s first post-Soviet foreign minister, was ruled out on the grounds that he had not been an Armenian citizen for 10 years. [...] Demirchian also has the backing of Hovannisian.
Demirchian, who had just under 10 percent of the vote in the last polls and is vying for second place with Artashes Geghamian, could therefore emerge as the opposition’s main hope of unseating Kocharian. Demirchian, who heads a large factory outside Yerevan, is relatively new to politics, but, as the son of the leader of Soviet Armenia between 1974 and 1988, enjoys huge name recognition. [...]
Although two presidential candidates have dropped out and Hovannisian was ruled out, there are still nine names on the ticket. Artashes Geghamian, the last Soviet mayor of Yerevan, is the other leading challenger.
The opposition’s inability to unite has been a bone of contention throughout the campaign, with critics saying that this will reduce the chances of anyone removing Kocharian. However, some argue that the number of candidates may, paradoxically, increase the chances of the elections going into a second round. [...] Accusations of violations have also come from independent monitors. The largest monitoring group, The Choice is Yours, on 14 February accused Kocharian’s campaign managers of violations, including asking ministers to issue instructions to local governments aimed at securing his victory. [...]
The more general concern is that the president has used his control of the state apparatus to unfairly boost his campaign and to minimize the space given to his opponents. One of the clearest examples of state resources being used is that of Kocharian’s campaign headquarters, which have been set up in the state-funded Academy of Sciences opposite the Armenian parliament. The building is now festooned with a huge banner for the president.
The Choice is Yours has also criticized what it considers biased television coverage of the campaign. Iskandarian of the Caucasus Media Institute agrees, saying that Kocharian has been given more airtime than allowed, while the press has mainly tracked Kocharian’s campaign. [...] The international community is trying to ensure that the elections will have greater transparency by sending 2,000 transparent ballot boxes. In addition, the U.S. government has promised to provide $1 million in additional funding for the CEC and local electoral boards."

Armenialiberty (RFE/RL): Kocharian hols election rally for more than two hundred deaf-mute people in Yerevan ("Pro-Kocharian Party Reaches Out To Disabled Voters") [ID 2866]

"More than two hundred deaf and dumb people in Yerevan had an opportunity to familiarize themselves with President Robert Kocharian’s electoral platform during a meeting with leaders of Orinats Yerkir, a pro-establishment party represented in the Armenian parliament. For most of them, it was the first such experience.

Opening the meeting, the Orinats Yerkir chairman, Artur Baghdasarian, appeared to briefly forget the specificity of the audience when he tested his microphone with an irrelevant question: “Can you hear me?”

His calls for the 3,500 or so Armenian deaf-mute to vote for Kocharian were conveyed to the participants through an interpreter using a special gestural language.

One of them, a young woman called Anzhela, told RFE/RL afterwards that the disabled have great difficulty following the election campaign and other political developments because of being for years neglected by Armenia’s political class. “We want to be full-fledged citizens and elect someone who will support us,” she said through an interpreter."
