The forthcoming parliamentary election in the republic are like a race
track, on which all the parties will start simultaneously from one
start, except the RPA which wants to run 41 meters forward with its
41 seats elected with first-past-the post election system, a deputy
from ARF Dashnaktiutyun parliamentary faction, Armen Rustamyan,
said at today's press-conference.
"An exclusive and may be even a historical situation has been
established in Armenia, when all the political forces of the country
are for introduction of the 100% proportional electoral system. The
authorities as well as the opposition think it is a necessary factor
to reach transparent elections and form a democratic country. However,
the RPA offers to delay adoption of the new electoral system, but
gives no arguments - why", - he said.
Rustamyan thinks that such behavior of the ruling party may be
explained by the fact that the first-past-the-post electoral system
gives this party an opportunity to force the opposition forces out of
the parliament. This will lead to destruction of all the principles
of a democratic country and fair elections.
Therefore, Rustamyan offered the authorities to organize public
opinion poll for 30 days to clear out the viewpoint of the society
on the matter.
For his part, the leader of the ARF Dashnaktiutyun parliamentary
faction, Vahan Hovannisyan, said that in this context the only clear
explanation of the authorities is a statement according to which
Russia allegedly regretted for transition from the first-past-the-post
electoral system to the 100% proportional one. "But this may be
simply explained, as the territory of Russia must not be compared
with that of Armenia. For such a large country like Russia the
first-past-the-post electoral system is more acceptable than for
Armenia", - Hovannisyan said.
