The Armenian National Congress (ANC) is sure that their timetable
on reforms in the RA electoral system would not be presented to the
Monitoring Committee at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe (PACE), said ANC foreign relations officer Vladimir Karapetyan.
"No one had any illusions that our document would be presented
at the session of PACE Monitoring Committee, and not that of the
authorities, because the requirement noted in the co-rapporteurs’
February 2 statement was directed to the authorities and it was the
authorities who presented the timetable.
"But our document will make it possible to balance those imitating
actions that the authorities want to present," said Karapetyan,
while talking to Tert.am.
Referring to the necessity of the judicial reforms stated by PACE’s
Monitoring Committee and mentioned by Davit Harutyunyan, Karapetyan
said that Harutyunyan must be held accountable for all the shortcomings
in the juridical and legal system as, during 7 years of office as
Justice Minister, he has had direct participation in the establishment
of this "disreputable juridical and legal system."
"The same Davit Harutyunyan did everything possible so that the
implementation of resolution 1609 will fail, in particular, on
ammendments to the Electoral Code. Now that same person is presenting
a timetable, and now the international community will apply a due
approach to that political figure known for his numerous failures,"
said Karapetyan.
Referring to the timetable presented by the ANC, Karapetyan said that
their proposals are realistic and that the co-rapporteurs, by visiting
Armenia, will discuss with them the provisions presented by the ANC.
