YEREVAN.— Representatives of the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe will soon arrive in Armenia to take part in the work on Electoral Code reform, said Daniel Ioannisyan, the secretary of the commission dealing with the reform of the electoral legislation.

His remark came on Friday during the discussion of the Electoral Code reform.

A controversial situation will arise if the National Assembly does not accept the amendments, since in this case elections will be held with the bad rules, he said.

Ionnisyan added that the threshold is higher, and many parties will not be able of entering the parliament after the elections.
