PanARMENIAN.Net – Commenting on the decision of several political
parties to appeal to the Constitutional court with a demand to release
the voter lists, Human Rights defender of Armenia said he can’t
provide a specific answer as to whether voter lists publication would
be correct or not.

`On the one hand, it will strengthen the control mechanism over votes;
on the other hand, it may become a publican of personal information,’
Karen Andreasyan said, refraining from voicing his opinion, saying he
himself is interested in the court’s ruling.

A single inter-party headquarters to counter election frauds intends
to address the Constitutional court with a request to rule the point
of the Armenian electoral code banning publication of voter lists as
unconstitutional.
