Today the RA Constitutional Court canceled president candidate Arman
Melikyan's request. The press secretariat of the CC commented that
the case was out of court's authorization.
Note: Melikyan disputed the changes in Electoral Code article2,
describing it as against the constitution.
According to the change Armenian citizens being abroad do not have
the right to take part in the forthcoming elections. He said that it
is illegality. "I have a large mass of electors abroad, and now they
are forbidden to vote for their candidate. Thus I consider the pre
electoral time and campaign to be under threat," he said.
It is important to remind that the Armenian citizens abroad were
deprived to elect when some changes were made in the Electoral Code
in February 2007. The changes were named as following "The elections
in the Republic of Armenia take place only in the territory of the
Republic of Armenia".
