Yerevan /Mediamax/. Candidate for the position of the Armenian
President, Ex-Foreign Minister of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR)
Arman Melikian intends to turn to the Constitutional Court.
Mediamax reports that, speaking today at a news conference in Yerevan,
Arman Melikian stated that his intention to turn to the Constitutional
Court is conditioned by the decision of the Armenian leadership not
to open electoral areas in NKR and abroad.
According to him, "this violates my rights as a candidate, since most
part of my electorate is abroad".
Commenting on the pre-election campaign, which started, and the
behavior of his rivals, Arman Melikian stated that the fact, "when
one oppositional candidate struggles against another oppositional
candidate" is unacceptable for him.
The candidate for the position of the President noted that he is an
optimist and is not inclined to believe in the statements that the
results of the elections are predetermined.
According to Melikian, the presidential elections in Armenia will be
composed of two rounds. In case he enters the second round, he would
like to see any of the candidates as his rival.
