YEREVAN, JUNE 27, ARMENPRESS. The discussions on making amendments in the draft law of the Electoral Code were kicked off in the Parliament. Main speaker, Minister-Chief of the Armenian Government’s staff Davit Harutyunyan said the Government presented two draft laws on making amendments in the Electoral Code.

“We have presented two drafts, since some of the proposed amendments do not require financial resources and they can be easily implemented. The second draft  requires financial resources. When we were discussing with our partners the issue of making amendments in the Electoral Code, there were numerous assurances that the financial resources will be provided. Accoridng to our calculations, nearly 16 million Euro is needed to implement the amendments, from which the Government is ready to provide 3 million Euro. That’s why we consider the implementation of the second draft law provisional. In other words, the amendments that require financial resources, we will adopt them until September 1 with the expectation to receive the funds. But if we would not manage to receive the financial resources until September 1, the amendments will be cancelled. The amendments that do not require financial resources will come into force 10 days after their adoption”, “Armenpress” reports, Harutyunyan said.
