ARMENIA-BASED HERITAGE PARTY REP FORECASTS MAJOR CHANGES
Tert.am
26.01.12
Karine Hakobyan, Secretary of the Board, Heritage party, is sure
major changes should be expected soon.
Her forecast is based on the public's activity rather than on that
of political forces.
"This regress has no further course to follow," Hakobyan told
journalists Jan. 26. The public has been turned into a "viewer"
only to be ousted from the process, she added.
Hakobyan called on the Central Electoral Commission not to accept
applications for participation in the forthcoming parliamentary
elections by oligarchs or businessmen, given the Armenian president's
statement.
"In his speech, the president stated his readiness to show political
will and hold as free and fair elections as have never been held
before," Hakobyan said.
The Heritage party discussed the issue of nominating its candidates in
all the single-member constituencies before it discussed the proposal
for a switch-over to proportional representation.
The Heritage party has not yet discussed the issue of its ticket -
it is of secondary importance for the party. In any case, Hakobyan
sees herself on the Heritage party list.
She shares the opinion that the proposal for a switch-over to the
proportional representation system made by the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) and Heritage party was a "PR
move." However, that move had an aim, she added.
"The public is not well informed of single-winner and proportional
representation voting. People want fair elections," Hakobyan said.
