PanARMENIAN.Net - Neither the Armenian Election Code nor the Central
Election Committee (CEC) is ready for extraordinary elections,
according to CEC head Garegin Azaryan.
`The Code contains a number of provisions which will take effect from
January 1, 2012. In case of extraordinary elections, the Election Code
will need to be amended,' Azaryan told a press conference in Yerevan
on August 13.
Armenia will hold parliamentary election in May 2012. The presidential
election is scheduled for February 2013. Currently, the authorities
and the Armenian National Congress opposition bloc are negotiating a
number of issues, including conduction of snap election by the ANC
