    PARLIAMENTARY GROUP TAKES STEPS TO COMBAT ELECTION FRAUD

    "Supreme Council" parliamentary group has disseminated a statement
    telling about its pre-election initiatives. The group, headed by Ruben
    Torosyan, denounced both the opposition and the authorities saying,
    "the opposition is busy with insignificant issues." The statement
    tells about steps taken by Supreme Council to contribute to elections.

    Particularly, the group has submitted a case in the first instance
    court with a charge against "idleness of the president." The statement
    says that the constitutional order was violated in the country with
    Defense Minister Serzh Sargsyan joining the Armenian Republican
    Party (HHK). HHK's activities must be banned, the initiators think,
    and that should have been done by the Armenian president. However,
    the latter failed to do so, the statement says.

    The group has also applied to the Central Electoral Committee pointing
    out that Armenian Revolutionary Federation has failed to register
    with the State Registry before 2003 elections.

    As another initiative, Supreme Council applied to the Russian Embassy
    to Armenia saying that the Chairman of the Union of Armenians in Russia
    "sets an example of violating the Armenian law to the foreigners."

    The group also sent a notification to the general prosecutor's
    office saying the office has failed to issue decisions on seven
    member of Central Electoral Committee who have reportedly violated
    the Election Law.

    The initiators also address to the ambassadors accredited in Armenia
    and heads of international organizations urging them to sign a
    memorandum "on respect of the Armenian legislation during the upcoming
    elections." Torosyan and other initiators think that "some of them
    and the observers of respective countries have violated the Armenian
    legislations during the last elections and the Referendum having an
    immediate impact on the results."
