According to www.aravot.am, Vahan Hovhannesyan, Head of the ARF-D
Parliamentary Faction stated that the advantage is on the coalition
government parties' side because on one hand they have armed some
single-seat constituency candidates with administrative levers and
on the other, they are distributing capitals into the 40 single-seat
constituencies. Hovhannesyan pointed out how difficult it is for
the independent candidates to compete with the ones favored by the
authorities. The single-seat constituency candidate will harvest votes
not only for his own good but also for the party that sponsors him,
he added.
Commenting on the latest gallops' findings that Armenia's Republican
Party (HHK), "Prosperous Armenia" party (BHK) and the Armenian National
Congress (HAK) are main political parties to race for the elections
whereas the rest of them will struggle to pass the 5% barrier just to
get into the Parliament, Hovhannesyan said that those gallops shouldn't
be trusted because they are based on answers the sincerity of which
in not always given, and in this case the answers were not sincere.
Replying to former President and leader of the Armenian National
Congress party, Levon Ter-Petrosyan's statement that the upcoming
parliamentary elections are tending to be Presidential ones,
since the parties have already started getting ready for those,
Hovhannesyan reminded that "At the time, they didn't listen to us
and decided that the Parliament should be elected every five years,
so as to assure that the parliamentary elections would be only a few
months ahead of the Presidential ones. Therefore, it's only natural
that the Parliament's influence will be in favor or against one
or another Presidential candidate". Commenting on Ter-Petrosyan's
statement about the Republic's second President (Kocharyan) being a
sink and the third President (Sargsyan) being a sinker, Hovhannesyan
said that in his opinion it is the first President's (Ter-Petrosyan)
unbearable load that made those two ships sink or be sunk.
Www. news.am reports that, on March 2, during his regular meeting
with the Press, Vahan Hovhannesyan explained that anyone can become a
member of the Parliament. As far as businessmen are concerned though,
they have to drop any business activity during their tenure at the
Parliament, he said. Otherwise a false impression is created that
only doctors and teachers, excluding those occupied in administrative
positions, have the right to be members of the Parliament. We have
to keep some principles. This is why ARF-D may have candidates that
are businessmen by profession but who will not exercise it throughout
their parliamentary mandate.
According to www.tert.am, Hovhannesyan referring to the voting about
the adoption of a 100% proportional electoral said that the voting was
normal, as opposed to the 90 in favor and 4 against results of the
past. He also thanked the MPs elected in single-seat constituencies
that voted in favor of ARF-D and Heritage parties' proposition.
