YEREVAN.- Leader of ARF Dashnaktsutyun Vahan Hovhannisyan voted on
Sunday at the 10/8 polling station in Yerevan downtown.
Hovhannisyan voted for his party for the sake of elimination of
corruption and strong Armenia in the international arena.
He expressed hope that once publishing of voters list would not be
considered as violation of human rights, the Armenian News-NEWS.am
correspondent reports.
On Saturday Constitutional Court refused the appeal of 28 MPs
demanding that Electoral Code's article prohibiting the publication of
lists signed by voters should be declared unconstitutional.
The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun is one of
the oldest Armenian political parties. It was founded in the end of
19th century.
Following the Sovietization of Armenia in 1920, the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun
was banned by the Communists and its leadership exiled. The
ARF-Dashnaktsutyun officially re-emerged in Armenia after the collapse
of the USSR, in 1990.
In June 2003, the party signed a coalition memorandum with the
Republican Party of Armenia and Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law). However,
in 2009 ARFD left the coalition in protest against signing the
protocols with Turkey.
Party's proportional list includes 85 candidates. Eight candidates
will run for an MP seat with majority system. The party's motto is
`Freedom, Justice, Dashnaktsutyun.'
