Today the Constitutional Court of Armenia continued hearing
applications by Orinats Yerkir (OYeK), Republic, New Times parties
(NTP) and Impeachment block requiring annulling the parliamentary
election results. The court hearing started with eight mediations
made by Ruben Torosyan, NTP representative.
In one of his mediations, Torosyan required to include Central
Electoral Committee members, particularly Felix Khachatryan,
into the court case. Vahe Grigoryan, representative of Impeachment
block, required excluding Justice Minister Davit Harutunyan, as a
codefendant. He said Harutunyan must be interested in his post of a
deputy with obvious contradictions with his role as a justice minister.
In one and half hour long speech, the representative of Impeachment
block, Vahagn Hovakimyan, presented discrepancies recorded by the
block during the election campaign and the actual conduct of elections.
In his words, Prosperous Armenia (BHK), Armenian Republican Party
(HHK) distributed food and money, BHK organized lotteries, gave away
ambulance cars during community campaign. Hovakimyan said voters
were brought to polling centers in mini buses. "CEC has ignored these
facts," he said.
