"I am pleased to take part in the annual Conference of the Association
of the European Electoral Authorities, the 18th meeting of which will
be held in Yerevan" - the Chairman of the Armenian National Assembly
Hovik Abrahamyan said welcoming the participants and guests of the
Conference.
The 18th annual conference of the Association of the European Electoral
Authorities opened in Yerevan today. More than 150 representatives
from about 30 countries and international organizations have arrived
to Yerevan to take part in the Conference.
"The election system is the very strategic area for any democratic
state" - H. Abrahamyan said stressing the subject of the Conference
"The voting rights court defense" refers to the issues related to
present elections.
According to the speaker, no one wants to lose the elections, but
some people tempt to challenge the election results after loosing.
"That is the reason for solving the disputes of that kind through
judicial power" - H. Abrahamyan noted. He also added there are
no two truths especially when it comes exclusively to political
competition. The independent and strong judiciary only can give a
final conclusion on the controversy of competing political forces.
The speaker also noted the importance of the international cooperation
and the experience exchange, saying that the "election organization
and holding include general achievements and common problems at the
same time".
"The presence of our foreign colleagues in this hall shows that we
all have got serious and determined intentions to work with partner
international organizations", - the speaker said.
H. Abrahamyan said he hoped that the Conference participants would
devote time for "getting acquainted with our country, its history
and cultural heritage and hospitality" as well as taking active part
in Conference."
