    "For holding free and fair elections it is necessary for the
    authorities and the opposition to demonstrate adequate political
    will, people should be active and must realize the importance of the
    elections," MP, President of the National Democratic Party Shavarsh
    Kocharyan said during the discussions of the Electoral code. He added
    that only the amended Electoral Code cannot guarantee the conduct of
    proper elections.

    According to Shavarsh Kocharyan, one of the basic approaches that
    can promote the conduct of fair elections is the application of
    proportional election system.

    The Deputy considers that the mechanism of formation of electoral
    commissions is also very important. In his words, the commissions must
    include an equal number of authority and opposition representatives.

    "Generally the whole election process must be transparent. Observers
    must have equal rights with commission members," he noted.
