Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan is not against that Armenian intellectuals from Diaspora, Serj Tankian, Atom Egoyan, Erik Nazarian, Arsinee Khanjian, be present in Yerevan and personally follow the course of elections within the frames of “Justice Armenia” initiative. “It is up to them, their opinion, they can use their rights within the frames of our laws. If the Diaspora Armenians can participate within the frames of law, let them come and participate, there is no problem,” Hranush Hakobyan answered question by “A1+”. He is proud that such an Electoral Code was created that even the opposition approved it, “At the congress of the Republican Party, President of the Republic announced that we should hold flawless elections.” Minister of Diaspora considers the publication of voter lists to be a positive step, “I myself support free, fair, transparent elections, people’s will must prevail, having such a code was also a political will; it was the desire of our authorities.” More than 4400 people around the world have already joined “Justice Armenia” initiative. A part of them will arrive in Armenia during parliamentary elections in April and will carry out observation mission.
