Political parties, civil forces and international organizations accredited in Armenia recorded success in connection with the new Electoral Code, Armenian lawmaker Aram Manukyan announced in the National Assembly on June 27. He stresses the importance of raising public confidence in elections and says the government has not spent any penny for this purpose. “It turns out that we have passed the most difficult phase and now we cannot find 5 million dollars. Doesn’t the government use its reserve funds to solve the issue? Is the $5 mln a great problem for our government?” Mr Manukyan said. He does not believe that the government will be able to do positive work as long as the issue is left unsettled. “It is ridiculous and shameful to say that Armenia’s authorities cannot find $5 million to make a serious step in the electoral system,” he added.
