MP Who Voted Against Controversial Bill Won=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=t be Elected into Parliament

Republican Party of Armenia MP Rafik Petrosyan won’t be elected into parliament under the majority system, Petrosyan said himself while speaking to journalists in the capital today.

Recall, in the upcoming May 6 parliamentary elections, 131 National Assembly deputies will be elected under a mixed electoral system: 90 deputies will be elected under a proportional system in a nationwide constituency and a further 41 in single-mandate constituencies under a majoritarian system.

“Thrice I’ve been elected under the majority system and I’ve never pursued personal interests. As for not being elected under the majority system, well, that’s tied to my age, as I feel awkward going to residential yards and asking for votes,” he said.
