ArmInfo. During the Feb 8 debates at the National press club Hovhannes
Margaryan, an Armenian MP from the Law-Governed Country Party, stated a
number of offenses against law over the past few days before the
presidential election in Armenia.
He said that special concern is caused by the signals, according to
which voting lists are being drawn at a number of enterprises. "The
heads of the enterprises make their employees and their families come
to their workplace Feb 19 morning and then go to vote under control. We
have information that one of the enterprises is going to dismiss three
of its employees for disobedience to these illegal actions. As soon as
the orders of dismissal are signed, I'll publish the name of the
enterprise", Margaryan said. Among other facts causing concern he
mentioned the situation with additional lists of voters, which are to
include citizens wishing to vote by the place of not their
registration, but work. "These lists will emerge two days prior to the
election and it will be practically impossible to check whether the
citizens' names are repeated on the main lists, too, from which they
should be excluded, particularly in large communities", Margaryan said.
At the same time, the MP emphasized that on February 19 Armenian people
"should get a president without a label", and this is possible only in
case of fair election. Here the Law-Governed Country Party gives an
important role to possible creation of a single campaign headquarters
of oppositional candidates for president to control the election.
