    ANC LEADER URGES REPORTERS TO CALL FOREIGN ENVOYS' ATTENTION TO ELECTORAL LISTS

    PanARMENIAN.Net - The leader of the Armenian National Congress Levon
    Ter-Petrossian drew the rally participants' attention to the issue
    of electoral lists.

    "All elections and even the fate of Armenia depend on the disastrous
    candidates lists comprising not even 500 but 700 thous. people,"
    he said.

    He noted with irony that lengthening the lists by 175 thous. names
    compared with the 2008 elections, Armenian police chief Vladimir
    Gasparyan probably wanted to prove RA President Serzh Sargsyan that
    he is more competent that his predecessor Alik Sargsyan.

    According to ANC leader, even voter bribery doesn't help the
    authorities, with candidates lists remaining their sole hope during
    the elections.

    In this context, he urged the journalists, politicians and political
    parties concerned over the justice of oncoming elections to vie
    for rectification of lists and publication of the lists of voters
    following the elections. Ter-Petrossian said that voter lists were
    published during his term of office, the practice being canceled
    after Robert Kocharian came to power.

    Head of the Congress called on particularly the reporters to draw
    the foreign embassies' attention to the issue, noting that he himself
    will raise the issue during a meeting with the head of the OSCE/ODIHR.

    "The international observers will become accomplices in election
    forgery, if the issue isn't resolved," he said.
