LEVON TER-PETROSIAN APPLIED TO CONSTITUTIONAL COURT
Former president Levon Ter-Petrosian, one of the nine contenders for the February 19 presidential election, has asked today the country's highest Constitutional Court to adjourn the ballot citing a set of obstacles which he says make his further participation in the election processes as envisaged by the Election Code impossible.
A statement disseminated by Ter-Petrosian's central campaign office says the ex-president asked the Constitutional Court to consider his complaint and rule these obstacles as 'force majeure."
The former president, particularly, complained of the Hayloor news program of the Public TV, which he says has been furthering a propaganda campaign against him for three months and providing a deliberately distorted coverage of his election campaign in gross violation of the Law on Public TV and Radio.
Ter-Petrosian also complains that the Public TV provides airtime to candidates at an unfavorable time making it actually impossible for him to mitigate the aftereffects of the campaign against him.He says his campaign office took all legally stipulated actions to prevent this 'illegality' but with no results.
If the Constitutional Court rules that these obstacles indeed constitute 'force majeure' it will have to put off the election date by two weeks. If these obstacles remain then new election shall be held in 40 days.
