Tert.am
31.01.12
The National Assembly's Committee on State and Legal Affairs is going
to consider the proposal on adopting a 100% proportional representation
system in Armenia on Wednesday.
Speaking to Tert.am, the head of the Committee, David Harutyunyan, said
he sees no problem about the initiative proposed by the parliamentary
opposition and the coalition Prosperous Armenia party faction/
Harutyunyan was recently reported to be coordinating the ruling
Republican Party's pre-election activities with international
observers.
Asked whether the international observers monitoring the electoral
processes in Armenia are going very strict about irregularities,
he said: "I don't understand what you mean by saying very strict. It
sounds like being semi-pregnant."
Harutyunyan, who is the head of Armenia's delegation to PACE, agreed
that the there is always a difference between the interim and final
reports submitted by international observation missions. "But that
does not imply a change of standards," he noted.
As to whether the foreign observers are going to prolong the term
of their mission this time or have more representatives in Armenia,
Harutyunyan said he was unaware of such plan.
