“The USSR Constitution was recognized as the best in the world by the
UN experts. However its implementaion led to execution of millions
of people”

With these words New Times party leader Aram Karapetyan explained that
he does not expect any positive outcomes of the upcoming election to
the local self-government.

The New Times leader has found plenty of faults in this structure,
particularly in the relations established between the community heads.
“Should the community head be subordinate to the Mayor? As a matter
of fact the system is common. If we suppose that the Mayor wants to
make some changes in the Kentron community, what instruments will
he have to influence upon the community head?” he says. According to
Aram Karapetyan how many time the Electoral Code should be reviewed
the election to the local self-government will serve as resource
providing victory at parliamentary or presidential election.

Head of another political force – National Consent party- Aram
Harutyunyan is also doscontent with the reviewed Electoral Code. He
considers that the coalition and opposition have “cut out” the EC
for their own interests. “I do not expect anything positive, since
political will is essential for it”, he said.

Members of the National Consent consider that despite the amendments
to the EC the “money” struggle will prevail at the forthcoming
election. Over this very reason the party does not want to take part
in the electio. “We do not want to play this game”, Aram Harutyunyan
stated.
