Ardarutiun Alliance may withdraw the signature it put to the draft
reform to the Electoral Code, stated Member of Parliament Grigor
Harutiunyan, the secretary of the Popular Party on June 29 at the
Pastark Club. He announced that the point of view that Ardarutiun
signed the draft constitution to reach a compromise with the government
and guarantee its reproduction in the parliament is not true.

"There were serious controversies over three or four points, and
we signed the document but we said it needs further elaboration. If
these points are rejected, we will withdraw our signature," states
Grigor Harutiunyan. His words regard staining fingers with ink,
proportional system of election and setting up committees.

Grigor Harutiunyan says a parliamentary group and judges cannot have
representatives in the committees, because only political forces run
in elections and they must set up committees.

Besides, Grigor Harutiunyan mentions that the government seems unlikely
to make active efforts in working out the amendments to the Electoral
Code because the meeting of the task force is often put off.
