Armenian CEC disallows presidential candidate's petition
January 19, 2013 | 12:09
YEREVAN. - The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) of Armenia on Friday
disallowed the letter of petition which presidential contender - and
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic former FM - Arman Melikyan had submitted, CEC
official website informs.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, Melikyan had signed a
letter of petition, which was addressed to the CEC, whereby he
proposed the latter to publicize the data on those that no longer live
in Armenia, those that have been issued Armenian citizenship but do
not live in the country, and on those that have renounced their
Armenian citizenship.
In line with the CEC decision, the petition with respect to dual
citizens that have been issued Armenian citizenship and those that
have renounced their Armenian citizenship is redirected to the Police
Passport and Visa Department. As for the providing of information on
those that have left Armenia ever since its independence in 1991, the
CEC decided to turn down this request because it is not authorized to
provide such information.
In his turn, Arman Melikyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am that, now, they
are looking for avenues to make his aforesaid demands become a matter
of the political agenda. He added that he might not even carry out an
election campaign ahead of the February 18 voting.
