Public Commission Monitoring Legality of Elections held a round table
to discuss violations of election law. Ruben Torosyan, member of the
commission, said, "The official election campaign has not started yet.

However, some TV channels and print media make political
advertisements." He said ALM, Kentron, H1, H2, Shant and AR are the
TV channels most frequently violating the election right. Torosyan
has applied to district courts reporting on election fraud. He has
submitted 50 applications since February 5.

Torosyan said the courts have rejected the applications saying no
violation has taken place. He applied to Review Court, which refused
to discuss the cases. However, the Appeal Court ruled out that the
cases in fact include violations of election right.

Mr. Torosyan also said the international organizations largely
contribute to election fraud in our country.

One of the participants of the round table suggested that the
commission files cases against such structures in the European Court.
