IT IS EXPENSIVE TO BRING AN ARMENIAN FROM LOS ANGELES FOR CANDIDATES
`You only count how much it will cost to bring 1000 people from Los
Angeles to receive 1000 votes,' Armen Rustamyan, member of Armenian
Revolutionary Federation (Dashnakcutiun), said speaking about the law
on dual citizenship. He attaches importance to the provision, which
says that a person with dual citizenship may vote only on the
territory of Armenia. Rustamyan believes that by prohibiting dual
citizenship in constitution we have lost huge human resources. `No
country would afford that. We have twice as many Armenian throughout
the world, shouldn't we use that?' he asked rhetorically.
He told reporters not to have fears because there will be no election
fraud during dual citizenship. `There will be a special election
center for people with dual citizenship. People who live and are
registered here will participate in elections. Those who do not live
here must notify 21 days beforehand that they will come to
elections. Dear people, look for election fraud somewhere else,'
Rustamyan urged the reporters.
