PanARMENIAN.Net - At a parliamentary hearing on full shift to
proportional electoral system set forth by the opposition, ARF
Dashnaktsutyun MP Armen Rustamyan noted that majority of political
forces back the proposal.
"Majority system in Armenia has become a tool for election violations.
Reproduction and not reelection of authorities leads to usurpation,"
he stated.
In his speech Mr. Rustamyan, one of the initiators of the proposal,
cited figures of previous elections, noting that opposition gains
much fewer seats in the parliament due to the majority system, the
latter facilitating authority candidates' victory.
