На избирательных участках царит оживление, 35,54% избирателей уже проголосовало за первые шесть часов выборов в Армении

Источники, близкие к армянской центральной избирательной комиссии сообщают, что 35,54% избирателей уже отдали свои голоса к 14:00 на  парламентских выборах, проходящих сегодня. Избирательные участки открыты для избирателей с 8:00 часов утра и закроются к 20:00 часам вечера. В Ереване на тот же период времени проголосовало 33,25% населения, что на 2% ниже среднего по стране.

Официальное число зарегистрированных избирателей 2,484,003 распределены по 1,982 избирательным участкам по всей стране. Избиратели выберут 131 члена парламента по пропорциональной и мажоритарной системе. 90 депутатов избираются по партийным спискам от девяти партий и блоков.

За ходом голосования наблюдают 647 международных и 31 451 местных наблюдателей.

Как только началось голосование, сегодня утром, возникли споры вокруг чернил, которые используются для помечания тех паспортов, кто проголосовал. Чернилы должны были держаться не менее двенадцати часов, но он исчезают после нескольких минут. Вопрос был поднят несколько дней назад в Центральном Избирательной Комиссии, которые отвергли эти сообщения. Сегодня утром председатель ЦИК Армении, Тигран Мукучян, когда его спросили об исчезающих чернилах сказал, что это была "техническая проблема" и она была решена.

Вчера Конституционный суд Армении отклонил просьбу нескольких членов Парламента, которые предлагали предавать гласности списки уже проголосовавших людей после выборов. Это предложение встретило сопротивление со стороны правительства.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
