At present there are no finances for implementation of changes in the EC
Changes will be made in the Electoral Code, if the international structures finance the process until September 1. Deputy Minister-Chief of the Government Staff Arthur Sargsyan declared today at the Government session. Though, Prime Minister expressed concern in this regard, “It isn’t sensible until September1, as everybody is on holiday.” Head of the President’s Staff Vigen Sargsyan intervened in the discussion of the issue, “Changes are the result of an exceptional agreement, and the state, bearing huge responsibility, must be able to resolve the issue. The implementation demands serious financing package besides the goodwill and big effort. The whole financing is USD 16 million, and only in case of its existence the project can be implemented. It is really huge burden for the state.” Hovik Abrahamyan noted that they should wait for the return of the Minister of Justice and Minister-Chief of the Government Staff, who had left for the discussions, after which that issue will be clarified. By the way, to remind, members of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) have expressed concern for many times that the state cannot find that amount of money.
