The proportional list of the Republican party of Armenia is biased,
RPA member, the Head of the Commission on State-Legal Affaires Rafik
Petrosyan said at today’s press-conference. The parliamentarian’s
discontent was caused by the fact that first ten of RPA’s proportional
list included the newly-made republicans- businessmen Karen Karapetyan
and Harutiun Pambukyan. According to him, the RPA’s Council forecasts
that 40-45 members will enter the Parliament by a party list during
the May 12 elections. He also said that the parliamentary elections
in Armenia will again be held with violations. "In case the elections
are held with gross violations, Armenia will possibly be ruled out of
the Council of Europe, as well as of the program of the "Millennium
Challenges" American Corporation", he said.
To note, the proportional list of RPA was approved at the recently
held session of the party’s Council. Thus, according to the Council’s
decision, the candidates from RPA will stand for in the Republic’s
27th and 41st majority districts.
