Aravot.am reports that on March 18, the Central Electoral Committee
Chairman, Tigran Mukuchyan presented the May 6, 2012 parliamentary
elections report to the Parliament. ARF-D MP, Artsvik Minasyan said
that "It is not a secret that during the parliamentary elections state
officials were actively preoccupied with campaign work. Many public
statements have been made about it by observers and by local media
as well. However there is no reference about this issue in your report.
Do you not feel the necessity of elaborating those statements or are
you satisfied with just the appeals and protests you received?".
Minasyan was referring to the violation of the 22nd article of the
Election Law.
The ARF-D MP also asked whether Mukuchyan is prepared to suggest
changes in the Law since it was shown during the recent presidential
election that the state resources were widely used in favor of the
ruling political power.
Mukuchyan replied that he was not able to make any presentation on
that matter because he had to give detailed explanations at the
Constitutional Court. According to him there was no violation of
Article 22.
Minasyan responded that no violation of Article 22 would mean that all
relevant reports, articles of the Press and international observers'
announcements do not comply with reality. The CEC chairman said that
it should be taken under consideration the extent of the affect any
violation has on the election results.
