The Republican Party (HHK) and the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK)
propose amendments to the RA Electoral Code regarding the upcoming
presidential election.
Many oppositionists disapprove of the proposed document and state it
will "have a short life."
Karen Karapetian (HHK), Hakob Hakobian (HHK), Ara Babloyan (HHK)
and Aram Safarian (BHK), the co-authors of the document, suggest that
party alliances and political initiatives should not name a president.
This implies that Levon Ter-Petrossian cannot run for presidency as
a united nominee and he should be nominated by a party.
"The amendments have political subcontext aimed at concrete
objectives," freelance deputy Victor Dallakian says.
According to Dallakian under the above amendments the state budget will
earmark election bribes to election commissions. Besides, "the Deputy
Chairman and Secretary of the Central Electoral Commission will get
additional monthly payment -over 20 per cent of a CIS member's salary."
Victor Dallakian also dwelt on electoral rolls.
"People registered in other communities are listed on electoral
rolls. "This resembles a real jumble. It is a mere breach of law. An
artificial reserve is created which cannot be controlled during
the election."
Moreover, the HHK and BHK suggest increasing election deposits to 10
million drams (formerly it was 5 million).
The National Assembly will consider the bill November 5.
