ARMENIAN LEADER REMAINS LOYAL TO COALITION AGREEMENTS – SPOKESMAN

Yerevan, 30 August: Armenian President Robert Kocharyan is against a
complete switch to the proportional representation system (election
on the party list), the Armenian president’s press secretary, Viktor
Sogomonyan, said in Yerevan today.

Addressing a briefing in Yerevan, Sogomonyan said that the
president remains loyal to his agreements with the ruling
coalition. Under them, 90 parliamentarians will be elected under the
proportional representation list and the remaining 41MPs under the
first-past-the-post system, Mediamax reports.

"The Armenian president considers that it is wrong for parliamentarians
to lose "direct contact" with their voters which will inevitably happen
after a complete switch to the proportional representation system,"
Sogomonyan said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
