YEREVAN, February 28. /ARKA/. The voter-candidate relations involve
many corruption risks, Secretary of Armenia's Central Electoral
Commission Hamlet Abrahamian said at the international seminar on
prevention, identification and investigation of election frauds.
Abrahamian attributed this situation to the existing electoral system.
Money and other instruments of influence on people's minds "work"
in the sphere, and in this particular electoral system it is very
difficult to differentiate between election bribes and charity,
Abrahamian said.
He pointed out that granting an immunity status to chairmen of
territorial election committees that is currently under consideration
may give cause for mass election fraud.
"In this respect it is very important to increase self-consciousness
of Armenia's citizens," Abrahamian said.
A two-day seminar is held in Yerevan on prevention, identification
and investigation of election fraud.
