Today the parliamentarians adopted the Electoral Code with 74 deputies
for and 0 against, while two deputies abstained from voting. Before
voting the head of the working group processing the Criminal Code,
Samvel Nikoyan, announced that the offers of the deputies have been
included into the draft. Member of the Orinats Yerkir party Hovhannes
Margaryan who strictly opposed the draft yesterday, said today that
he cannot vote it down.

Robert Kocharyan had applied to the Parliament asking to cancel
the agreement about RA membership in the CIS economic court. Hmayak
Hovhannisyan has once managed to turn down the request. Nevertheless,
this time, despite his efforts, the deputies accepted the request of
the President: RA membership in the CIS economic court was canceled. 74
deputies voted for it.
