The new electoral code of Armenia is an instrument for more
electoral fraud, secretary of the People's Party of Armenia, member
of the Armenian National Congress Felix Khachatryan said during a
press-conference on Friday.
He said that the code has been designed for helping the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia to retain its power.
The same code says that there should be no businessmen in the
parliament but the authorities ignore this ban.
"The parliament is responsible for the current crisis as its oligarch
and businessman member are actively engaged in robbery and are doing
all they can to retain their seats. We can avoid this only if we
adopt a 100% proportional electoral system," Khachatryan said.
Dec 27 the opposition Heritage and ARFD parties suggested switching to
100% proportional electoral system before the parliamentary elections
of May 6 2012.
