“ELECTION CODE IS A NOT SUIT FOR ELECTORS TO WEAR IT
CHANGING THE FASHION WITH TIME:” OPPOSITIONIST MEMBER OF ARMENIAN CEC
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 14, ARMINFO. “Election Code is a not suit for
electors to wear it changing the fashion with time,” said indignantly
Representative of the Justice opposition bloc at the Armenian CEC
Felix Khachatryan, Wednesday.
He proposes the CEC to approve an application to the Armenian
Government at its next sitting to amend the Election Code. In
particular, Khachatryan thinks the point allowing a member of the
Election Committee to enter the booth together with a voter if the
latter has some difficulties with voting (poor sight etc..) nothing
but a direct direction to falsifications. Khachatryan thinks there
are 16 points in the new EC which need amendment till the local
self-government elections in September-October 2005.
However, only a CEC member representing the National Unity party
Zaven Pluzyan supported Khachatryan. The Armenian CEC did not approve
the agenda of the extraordinary sitting consisting of Felix
Khachatryan’s proposals.
It was the second failure of the Justice bloc representative to amend
the Election Code. In response to ARMINF’s question, Khachatryan said
he will fight till the very end to make the necessary amendments to
the EC.
