The leader of National Democrats, Shavarsh Kocharyan, claims he
has proposed the best Election Code. He was very amazed when the
opposition supported the coalition draft and was even more amazed
when the opposition stepped back.
Kocharyan believes the authorities will do everything to reproduce
themselves during the upcoming elections.
He hopes that the people, opposition and the international institutions
may overcome that barrier.
The leader of National Democrats has developed a complex program of
election observation costing $4 million. Kocharyan’s fellow Arshak
Sadoyan has also proposed a program that may require $2.5 million
investment. Kocharyan thinks that Sadoyan’s plan is unrealistic since
he believes electronic voting may also be discredited in a country
that has never over passed the threshold of free elections.
In Kocharyan’s words, today criminal elements are taking the lead
being tired of serving the authorities and willing to rule on their
own. Panorama.am/
