Armenian opposition demands early elections

A statement approved at an Opposition-organized rally contains a number of demands, which will be handed over to the CE delegation to Armenia on March 16.

The ANC demands to set up an independent commission with international experts involved, to investigate into the tragic events in Yerevan on March 1, 2008.

The ANC also demands the removal of restrictions on rallies and meeting that have been in effect since.

The ANC demands a free contest for broadcasting frequencies and restoration of the A1+ TV Company’s right to broadcasting, which meets the requirements of the European Court on Human Rights.

The ANC also demands reforms of the Armenian elections law before this May, and early presidential and parliamentary elections from June to September.

Zurabyan stated that on March 16, the day before the CE Monitoring Group considers the situation in Armenia, the Opposition will hold a session to hand its demands over to the CE delegation to Armenia.
