ARFD member: reproduction of authorities leads to usurpationFebruary 15, 2012 - 12:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - At a parliamentary hearing on full shift to proportional electoral system set forth by the opposition, ARF Dashnaktsutyun MP Armen Rustamyan noted that majority of political forces back the proposal. “Majority system in Armenia has become a tool for election violations. Reproduction and not reelection of authorities leads to usurpation,” he stated. In his speech Mr. Rustamyan, one of the initiators of the proposal, cited figures of previous elections, noting that opposition gains much fewer seats in the parliament due to the majority system, the latter facilitating authority candidates’ victory.
