Yerevan /Mediamax/. Representatives of the Armenian presidential
candidates agreed today that the presidential elections of February 19
should be fair and transparent.
Mediamax reports that, speaking today during the discussions in the
National Press Club, representative of presidential candidate Artur
Baghdasarian Hrant Margarian reminded that their candidate proposed to
establish a single staff for registration and operative reaction to the
violations of the electoral legislation.
According to him, `Orinats Yerkir' faction `tried to approve in the
parliament the amendments to the Electoral Code, which might
considerably reduce the possibility of falsifications; however the
authorities left themselves many loopholes for gerrymander'.
Representative of presidential candidate Vahan Hovhannissian, Head of
parliamentary faction of `Dashnaktsutiun' Hrayr Karapetian expressed
regret in connection with the fact that `the candidates are more
frequent to scold each other than to demonstrate constructive approach
to the pre-election campaign'. He stated that `thus the pre-election
campaign is turning into a confrontation and overstepping the limits of
correctness'.
