YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 19, ARMENPRESS:  Armenia's Presidential candidate Hrant Bagratyan is proud for 30 thousand votes cast for him. ''Surely this is not a victory. Besides the authorities have both  been fighting for the success of their candidate and were sketching the second and the third following places. Raffi benefited from it. In the end the authorities obviously regretted and tried to hamper his victory. Yet it was too late. Currently the further development of events depends on him. If Paruyr Hayrikyan behaved him in another way, he would hold the third place. It has been determined so. Thank you for your votes, they are priceless, they are not in vain''  Bagratyan posed in his facebook page. As Armenpress reports, he will then announce about his intention to officially appeal election results or not. 

 In accordance with the preliminary results Serzh Sargsyan was re-elected. He has received 861 160 votes, 58.64 percent of the valid votes.''Heritage'' party leader Raffi Hovhannisyan has received 539 672 votes (36,75 percent), the third comes Hrant Bagratyan with 31 643 votes (2,15 percent), 18 093 citizens (1.23 percent ) have cast their votes for Presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan, subjected to an assassination attempt.
