Levon Zurabyan, Coordinator of the Armenian National Congress
stated during the parliamentary hearings on the 100% proportional
representation that the current catastrophic situation is determined
by the criminal-oligarchic and cleptocratic political system.
According to him, the development of the country is in danger because
of the vicious election system and election frauds. And the most
dangerous thing is that people have been isolated from the power.
People leave the country mostly because they are isolated from the
management and construction of the country rather than because of the
social economic hard situation. The power is perceived as a gang of
occupants, said Zurabyan.
Zurabyan recalled that the Armenian National Congress presented in
2010 an election package one of the key provisions of which is the
100% proportional representation which united political forces and
the society.
The majoritarian system has become the greatest evil in Armenia. It is
a symbiosis of local oligarchs or authorities and the ruling parties,
said Zurabyan. He also noted that the removal of the majoritarian
system will destroy the most serious circle of the election. "Today,
we have an exceptional chance to agree. Don't take the country to
confrontation. Do a step towards the opposition and the society. Today
we only warn and you decide. Make a right choice until you have the
opportunity", he said.
