YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. Hakob Hakobian, a member of the
"People’s Deputy" deputies’ group, deputy elected from Gegharkunik,
new Republican, stated during the October 25 discussions of the
amendments to the Electoral Code held at the National Assembly that
if the existing correlation of majoritarian-proportional places is
broken on account of the majoritarians’ reduction, the group may
present itself with the opposite initiative. NA Deputy Speaker, ARF
faction member Vahan Hovhannisian, responding that speech, noticed that
"People’s Deputy" joined the 2005 agreement for getting place at the
electoral commission. "If the proportional system is reviewed about
what we agreed, maybe, it will be reviewed as well," the NA Deputy
Speaker said. In response to another part of H.Hakobian’s speech,
V.Hovhannisian said: "When I am said that political forces are afraid
as forward which side the majoritarian bends that force will win, I ask
you forward which side you have ever bent besides the authorities. Have
the majoritarians ever been with any political force besides the
authorities? No. They have always been the executive power’s reserve."
