CENTRAL ELECTORAL COMMITTEE GOING TO FORGE?

Today the Central Electoral Committee refused to discuss the offer of the
Committee member Felix Khachatryan from the Justice bloc «To apply to the RA
Government with the offer to introduce changes into the RA Electoral Code».

Deputy head of the Committee Abraham Bakhchagoulyan said at the beginning of
the session that the new Electoral Code has not been tested yet, and they
must wait for the elections of the local governing bodies. Mr. Khachatryan
said, «You have not been tested either, but you have been elected deputy
head of the Committee».

Nevertheless, the Committee voted the offer down. Mr. Khachatryan told the
journalists that all the forgeries start from the Central Electoral
Committee. He was not surprised by the fact that the offer was not accepted
but by the fact that they had refused even to discuss it. «Why don't they
want to discuss it? Let them discuss and turn it down. They do not allow me
to be heard», said the representative of the Justice bloc to the Committee.
