YEREVAN, APRIL 18, NOYAN TAPAN. From the day of nomination of
candidates for the parliamentary elections, March 23, RA Central
Electoral Commission has received 10 application-complaints, some
of which rather contained proposals than complaints. CEC Chairman
Garegin Azarian reported this at the April 18 press conference. In
his words, the application-complaints mainly regarded not providing
halls to parties for meeting with electors, as well as place for
advertisement posters and collection of passports in some communities.
G. Azarian said that in response to Orinats Yerkir Party's complaint it
was explained that only halls and territories being state ownership
can be provided free of charge and halls and territories being
communal ownership are not provided free of charge. CEC sent signals
on collection of passports to competent bodies, Prosecutor's Office,
Police and Territorial Government Ministry.
The Prosecutor's Office said that it did not prepare the respective
materials due to lack of concrete facts. In connection with the
posters it was mentioned that some candidates just identify places
for agitation posters with advertisements placed on signboards.
G. Azarian also said that henceforth brief information on applications
and their answers will be placed on CEC web-site and he will meet
with journalists every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to explain the
problems which emerged.
It was mentioned that cars with 5 thousand new ballot-boxes have
already reached Armenia from Syria and apparently they will be shown
to journalists at the April 19 sitting.
