Over 4 000 observers from It's Your Choice NGO to watch Armenian presidential election

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA) will not support any of the candidates at the February presidential elections, party chairman Aram Sargsyan said. "We are familiarized with all of nine candidates, their political biography and team. After studying the election programs we concluded that neither reflects the base principles our ideology," he said.



Meanwhile, the Union of Veterans called on all political forces "to be reasonable and honest." "Our national values are flouted under the cover of ostensible patriotism," read the Union's statement.



The Constitutional Court rejected the action brought by presidential hopeful Arman Melikyan, who urged to recognize legislative amendments forbidding voting abroad as illegal. According to him, the amendments infringe the rights of hundreds of people and can give ground for falsifications.



Armenian media reports that 4010 observers of It's Your Choice NGO will watch the presidential election. The observers produce remarks and conclusions every ten days since the beginning of the election campaign, chairman Harutyun Hambartsumyan said.
