The pre-election campaign poster portraying Armenia's second president Robert Kocharyan with the inscription “Building Armenia” and the poster advertising Kocharyan’s book “Life and Freedom” that can be seen in Yerevan and elsewhere, are associated with each other. The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) adopted this decision during its session today.
Thus, the CEC acknowledged the election campaign poster as an advertisement of Robert Kocharyan’s book. According to Chairman of the CEC Tigran Mukuchyan, the court decision on this issue which was adopted by the Administrative Court earlier doesn’t contain a final decision on association with the posters mentioned above, and this was the main reason why the CEC adopted a decision that differed from the decision of Kocharyan’s team.
The chairman of the Central Electoral Commission also mentioned that the definition of association is not given by the Code, but said that it is natural, as it is an assessment, which the territorial election commissions and the Central Electoral Commission have the right to do.
