(Panorama.am) - Seiran Avagyan, adviser to the president of the republican, and his co-party fellows are very concerned with the amendments in the Election Code which say that any party must have 5% of votes to enter into the parliament. The combination of two parties must overcome 7% limit and an alliance of more than 3 parties must collect 10% and more votes. Armenian National Democratic Union (ANDU) called a press conference today to share the concerns, reports Trend.
Vice chairman of ANDU, Vahram Mkrtchyan, is concerned that many out-of-parliament forces cannot overcome the 5% limit and representatives of lot of people will not appear in 2007 parliament.
Arthur Levonyan from the same party says it is clear that the coalition wants to reproduce itself. He said the disposition of the opposition is unclear. The party came to a conclusion that the opposition wants to settle issues in post-election tense situation like in Georgia. ANDU deputy chairman thinks it unacceptable that the coalition has stated that the next parliament will comprise only them. If the Georgia scenario is repeated, they will be responsible for that, he said.
