YEREVAN. – The accountability proposed for electoral fraud in Armenia is absurd and ridiculous; it is impossible to call it anything else. 

Hovhannes Margaryan, member of the opposition Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law) National Assembly (NA) Faction, stated the aforementioned at Friday’s NA briefings. 

He stated this commenting on the proposed amendments to the Criminal Code, and which are adjuncts to the new Electoral Code of Armenia. 

For example, these amendments set a 200 thousand-dram (approx. US$417) fine for stealing a ballot box, whereas criminal charges for stealing it for vote rigging.

“And for what other purpose would they steal a ballot box?” Margaryan asked.
