    PanARMENIAN.Net - At a parliamentary hearing on full shift to
    proportional electoral system, deputy chairman of Heritage party
    Ruben Hakobyan called attention to passivity of MPs elected through
    majority system, noting that 29 out of 41 majority MPs in 2007 never
    addressed the parliament.

    According to Mr. Hakobyan, there is an agreement reached between
    authorities and MPs elected through majority system speculating
    provision of all conditions for the latter by authorities and turning
    a blind eye to violations. Meanwhile MPs are set to secure certain
    percentage of votes for the party during elections by proportional
    system.

    Heritage member further refuted accusations as to constitutional
    contradictions regarding the full shift to proportional system, whilst
    urging to benefit from the expertise of such democratic countries as
    Sweden and Denmark with exceptionally proportional electoral system.

    On December 27, Heritage and ARF Dashnaktsutyun opposition parties
    issued a joint statement urging for a full shift to proportional
    electoral system.

    On January 26, Prosperous Armenia coalition party jointly with Heritage
    and ARF Dashnaktsutyun opposition parties requested parliament speaker
    Samvel Nikoyan and the chairman of NA standing committee on state and
    legal affairs David Harutyunyan to organize parliamentary hearings
    on full shift to proportional electoral system.
