    HOVANNISAN MEETS WITH HEAD OF EU DELEGATION TO ARMENIA

    Raffi Hovannisian today met with Trian Hristea, the Head of the EU
    Delegation in Armenia.

    The two discussed the February 18 presidential election and the
    resulting political instability in Armenia due to the popular distrust
    of the official vote result.

    Tomorrow, Hovannisian will meet with Norbert Lammert, the President
    of the German Bundestag now in Armenia on an official visit.

    Today, Hovannisian's campaign headquarters will file a petition with
    the Constitutional Court questioning the constitutionality of Article
    18, Point 5, of the RA Electoral Code.

    Point 5 reads:

    After calling elections, candidates, political parties, alliances
    of political parties running in elections under the proportional
    electoral system may form election campaign offices. Election campaign
    offices may not be located in buildings occupied by state and local
    self-government bodies (except for cases where election campaign
    offices occupy an area not belonging to such bodies) as well as in
    buildings where electoral commissions are functioning. Signboards
    placed on election campaign offices shall not be regarded as print
    campaign materials within the meaning of this Code, if they do not
    contain direct appeals to vote for or against a candidate, political
    party (alliances of political parties), and if the number of such
    posters does not exceed the number of election precincts formed for
    the purpose of elections, and if the area that each poster (signboard)
    occupies does not exceed six square meters.
