YEREVAN. – The opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) continues
to discuss the principles for forming its proportional election list
for the upcoming parliamentary elections, Zhoghovurd daily writes.
`According to Zhoghovurd’s information, primarily two alternatives are
brought forward: Either to form the list on the [political] party
principle, or in the order of recognized individuals. The small
parties want for the list to be formed on the principle of party
affiliation, so that man-party leaders can easily become MPs. But the
overwhelming majority does not agree with this option. ANC believes
this would be unfair, as non-party-affiliate figures, former political
prisoners, and many others have done lot more in these years than the
chairmen of some [political] parties,’ Zhoghovurd writes.
