    ANDU CONCERNED WITH AMENDMENTS IN ELECTION CODE


    Seiran Avagyan, adviser to the president of the
    republican, and his co-party fellows are very
    concerned with the amendments in the Election Code
    which say that any party must have 5% of votes to
    enter into the parliament. The combination of two
    parties must overcome 7% limit and an alliance of more
    than 3 parties must collect 10% and more votes.
    Armenian National Democratic Union (ANDU) called a
    press conference today to share the concerns.

    Vice chairman of ANDU, Vahram Lazarian, is concerned
    that many out-of-parliament forces cannot overcome the
    5% limit and `representatives of lot of people will
    not appear in 2007 parliament.'

    Arthur Levonyan from the same party says it is clear
    that the coalition wants to reproduce itself. He said
    the disposition of the opposition is unclear. The
    party came to a conclusion that `the opposition wants
    to settle issues in post-election tense situation like
    in Georgia.' ANDU deputy chairman thinks it
    unacceptable that the coalition has stated that the
    next parliament will comprise only them. `If the
    Georgia scenario is repeated, they will be responsible
    for that,' he said. /Panorama.am/
