CEC to study Sukiasyan's documents
The Central Election Commission says they will study the documents given to Armenia-based businessman Khachatur Sukiasyan by the Police Passport and Visa Department and his bid to register as a candidate in due order and due time.
On March 17, Sukiasyan submitted a petition to the CEC and the Election Commission of constituency No. 10. In the petition, Sukiasyan reflected on the letter of the Passport and Visa Department that was presented to the constituency according to which the Department's official document, which it had earlier given to Khachatur Sukiasyan and which attested to his residency status in Armenia for the past five years, did not correspond to reality. In the letter, the Department said that according to their information Sukiasyan had not permanently resided in Armenia for the past five years, therefore could not be registered as a parliamentary candidate.
