/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In an interview with three Armenian TV Channels RA
President Robert Kocharian called on the voters to make a sober and
balanced choice during the May 12 parliamentary election. The reviewed
Constitution entitles big authority to the parliament that is why its
formation demands a very serious attitude, he said.

President Kocharian said individuality factor plays a big role in the
voter’s consciousness. A state figure should be reserved, hard-working
and conservative to some extent but he by no means should be
malicious, since evil is devastating. Patriotism is also
important. `It’s sad that families of some officials do not visit
Armenia for 10-15 years,’ the President said.

He also voiced an opinion that during the election campaign all
political forces should be rendered the possibility to represent their
position to the people. The current campaign was remarkable for
exceptional freedom given to all participants of the parliamentary
race, Mr Kocharian said.

When touching upon the voting process the Armenian President said all
participants in the election are responsible for prevention of
forgery, specifically the political forces which form election
committees.
