YEREVAN, APRIL 22, ARMENPRESS. The joint opinion of the Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR on the Electoral Code amendments of Armenia has been published, where no concerns have been recorded over holding the early parliamentary elections of Armenia with the application of the amendments, ARMENPRESS reports Justice Minister of Armenia Rustam Badasyan wrote on his Facebook page.

”The joint opinion of the Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR on the draft Electoral Code amendments has been published. The opinion, examining the package of amendments adopted on April 1, 2021 by the parliament, which abolishes the territorial candidate lists, notes that given the fact that there was broad support for it by political forces and non-governmental organization, as well as considering that it does not alter the electoral system, but simplifies it, no concerns have been raised for holding the early elections with the application of the mentioned amendments”, the Minister wrote.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
