Yerevan, 30 August: Armenian President Robert Kocharyan is against a
complete switch to the proportional representation system (election
on the party list), the Armenian president's press secretary, Viktor
Sogomonyan, said in Yerevan today.
Addressing a briefing in Yerevan, Sogomonyan said that the
president remains loyal to his agreements with the ruling
coalition. Under them, 90 parliamentarians will be elected under the
proportional representation list and the remaining 41MPs under the
first-past-the-post system, Mediamax reports.
"The Armenian president considers that it is wrong for parliamentarians
to lose "direct contact" with their voters which will inevitably happen
after a complete switch to the proportional representation system,"
Sogomonyan said.
