    YEREVAN.- The plurality voting system is a major obstacle to fair
    elections, said MP from ARF Dashnaktsutyun Armen Rustamyan.

    Armenia's parliamentary opposition Heritage and ARF Dashnaktsutyun
    parties, and the non-parliamentary opposition bloc Armenian National
    Congress held a rally near the Parliament on Tuesday.

    "The National Assembly will start debates on completely proportional
    election system in Armenia," Rustamyan said addressing the
    demonstrators.

    "The plurality voting system is a major obstacle, we will try to put
    the initiative to the vote for the last time," he emphasized.

    According to him, the shifting to completely proportional election
    system is the first step to make society trust the authorities. "The
    authorities are simply afraid of losing power," he stressed.
