The presidential nominees seeking to run for election on February 18
have submitted their documents the Central Election Commission (CEC).
Speaking to Tert.am, a spokesperson for the Commission, Hermine
Harutyunyan, said seven of the candidates have already paid their
election deposits. They include incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan,
the former prime minister, Hrant Bagratyan, the leader of the
Constitutional Right Union party, Paruyr Hayrikyan, the former foreign
minister of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Aman Melikyan, the leader
of the opposition Heritage party, Raffi Hovhannisyan, the epic expert,
Vardan Sedrakyan, and the political analyst, Andreas Ghukasyan.
The other eight candidates still expected to pay the sum are President
of the National Karate Kobudo Federation Taron Abrahamyan, a lecturer
of the Armenian State Teacher-Training University, Narine Lazarian,
the leader of the National Consent Party Aram Harutyunyan, President
of the Kashatagh NGO Robert Simonyan, pensioner Pavlik Sargsyan, Mher
Hayrapetyan (unemployed), a lawyer at the European Court of Human
Rights, Ruben Ayvazyan, and a coordinator for the socialist movement
Essence of Time, Robert Aharonyan
`Those candidates who haven't submitted a receipt on paying the
deposit will be denied registration; their candidacies will be
rejected. The registration begins on the 4th and finishes on the 14th
of January. The CEC will call a session in that period to decide the
candidates subject to registration,' Harutyunyan said.
The election deposit, which is 8 million Drams ($20,000), can be paid
in the trade banks of Armenia; the CEC accepts only the receipts
together with the other documents necessary for registration.
`Those candidates, whose documents are found to contain inaccuracies,
are given an additional time of 48 hours by the CEC to correct the
inaccuracies and smooth out the problems,' Harutyunyan explained.
