HERITAGE LEADER CALLS FOR PRESIDENT'S EFFORTS TO ENSURE FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS
Tert.am
21.11.11
The leader of the opposition Heritage party, Raffi Hovhannisyan has
sent an official letter to the president, calling for urgent measures
to ensure free and fair elections in Armenia.
As important steps towards achieving that objective, the Heritage
leader particularly calls upon Serzh Sargsyan and other government
officials to resign as chairmen of different universitites' trusteeship
boards and depoliticize universities' student councils.
He further calls for withdrawing all the offices of the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) from the territory of municipalities
and other local-self-government offices across Armenia, and removing
the RPA's logo from those buildings and other institutions considered
public property (houses of culture, universities, schools etc).
Hovhannisyan demands the president's strong measures to ban
party-oriented campaigns and political events in secondary schools,
and allow only the distribution of manuals educating students on
their civil rights.
The Heritage leader also calls for banning pro-Republican campaigns
at the presidential office.
As further measures to hold free and fair elections, Hovhannisyan
proposes, among other things, banning intimidations and pressures
against citizens in an attempt to restrict their constitutional
right to vote freely, and ensuring equal competition (including equal
funding) for all candidates running for election.
