YEREVAN, MARCH 20, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian parliament turned down a
motion by the opposition Ardarutyun (Justice) bloc to set up an ad
hoc commission to investigate reports of ballot-rigging during the
2005 November 27 constitutional referendum.
The motion was backed only by 20 votes of opposition lawmakers.
Parliament chairman Arthur Baghdasarian reacted by saying that chief
prosecutor's office has opened 4 criminal cases to probe vote-rigging
on November 27 and promised to unveil fresh information as soon as
he received it. Baghdasarian also commended all parliament forces for
approving a set of changes to the election code which, he said, would
help set up such election commissions that would prevent election fraud.
