AN OFFER TO ARTHUR BAGHDASARYAN
12:54 pm 22 March, 2006
`The approaches of the RA NA Speaker Arthur Baghdasaryan towards the
organization of the Constitutional Referendum and the evaluation of
the results are dangerous’, the Public Committee controlling the
lawfulness of the referendum warns.
The announcement of the NA Speaker that the Prosecutor’s Office has
initiated four cases about the law violations during the Referendum
became the reason for the Committee to make offers. The letter to
Arthur Baghdasaryan says:
«On purpose or not, you try to forget the following violations
(crimes) which had an enormous impact on the results of the
Referendum:
– Not the draft amendments, but the amended draft Constitution was put
to Referendum;
– The court system did not discuss any complaints about the idleness
of the Referendum Central Committee;
– The Referendum Central Committee did not establish any order to
realize agitation;
– The RA President violated the principle of secrecy of vote and
carried out an open vote;
– The Referendum Central Committee summed up the results of the
Referendum without taking into account the complaints which were in
the courts».
Public Committee controlling the lawfulness of the referendum also
reminds that the RA Foreign Minister mislead the international
community not representing the real image of the Referendum.
`The NA carries out formal amendments to the Electoral Code without
referring to the law violations in the courts today about the
Referendum processes’, the letter says offering to discuss these
issues.
