Armenia's Sargsyan Wins Reelection Under Cloud of Voting Violations

Serzh Sargsyan won reelection in Armenia, on Monday.

His reelection will give him a second five year term.

With fifty-eight percent of the vote he handily won the election, as his nearest competitor only had thirty-two percent.

However, charges of voting violations had begun nearly as soon as the polls had opened.

Monday finished with more than seventy separate charges of violations, including accusations that votes for opposition parties were thrown out.

Even if true, it is unclear if all of the violations combined would be enough to take the office from Sargsyan.
