YEREVAN (Reuters) - Armenian President Serzh Sarksyan was on course to secure a new five-year term with about 58 percent of the votes cast in a presidential election on Monday, an exit poll showed.
The exit poll by the Baltic Surveys/The Gallup Organization, reported by Armenian television after voting ended, put Sarksyan's nearest rival, U.S.-born Raffi Hovannisian, on 32 percent.
