| FORMATION OF NEW PARLIAMENT NEEDS SERIOUS ATTITUDE, RA PRESIDENT SAYS | | 11 May 2007, Resource : Panarmenian | | | | !ßÀ p="justify">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.
