VAZGEN MANUKYAN DISCREDITS ELECTION COMMITTEES

`Many think that it is expedient to form a council but no practical
steps have been taken thus far,’ Vazgen Manukyan, leader of National
Democratic Union (AJM), told Panorama.am.

Manukyan earlier suggested to form a council composed of opposition
parties, movements and public organization.

Mher Shahgeldyan, vice chairman of Orinats Yerkir, also believes that
the opposition should be united. However, he underscores the
professionalism of opposition within the election committees.

Speaking about that, Manukyan said that the new law requires no
quorum. Since the majority of the committees is in the hands of
authorities, they appoint their person as the chairman. Actually, the
chairman alone can take a decision because of no quorum, he said.
