YEREVAN. - The agreement reached between the Armenian authorities and opposition on the Electoral Code will allow preventing at least the most obvious violations, if not all.
Head of the Prosperous Armenia faction Naira Zohrabyan stated the aforementioned at the ceremony of signing an agreement by the opposition on the amendments to the Electoral Code and re-equipment of polling stations.
The authorities and the opposition have already once gathered for a "historical" agreement but later revoked it, she added.
"It remains to hope that the same thing will not happen with this agreement," she added.
"Of course, no law can become a panacea for all the possible violations. But a well-drafted law, which the authorities, opposition and civil society finally agreed on, will allow prevent at least the most obvious violations, such as repeated voting or pressure against the participants of the electoral process," Zohrabyan noted.
