YEREVAN. - Armenian parliament has adopted no legitimate law since
2007, oppositional Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader Levon
Ter-Petrosyan stated at the rally on Friday in Yerevan.
According to him, the reason is that 76 out of 131 members of the
parliament are engaged in business. At the same time, Constitution
prohibits MPs to be involved and receive income from any other
activity, with the exception of creative, educational, or scientific
work.
Ter-Petrosyan also touched upon presidential elections of Armenia.
According to him, in previous years CEC registered Armenian second
and third presidents, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, illegally,
which was fatal for Armenia.
Serzh Sargsyan was registered illegally as a presidential candidate
as he had not left the PM office. Otherwise he would have lost the
administrative resource for his pre-election campaign. Regarding
Robert Kocharyan, he was registered for 1998 and 2003 presidential
elections without having lived in Armenia for 10 years.
Justice will recognize all those illegalities one day. Though it
cannot bring back the past, but it can change relations in the society,
ANC leader believes.
