ARMENIAN COURT RULING REJECTS OPPOSITION CHALLENGE AGAINST REGIONAL ELECTION COMMISSION
A Yerevan district court on 25 April dismissed a lawsuit by opposition Union of Constitutional Rights head Hayk Babukhanian challenging the decision of the regional election commission to deny him registration as a candidate in next month's parliamentary election (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 23 April 2003), according to Noyan Tapan. Regional Election Commission Chairman Levon Oghanganian defended the decision not to register Babukhanian's candidacy, explaining there were a number of discrepancies and omissions in the paperwork required for the candidate-registration process. The court also recently upheld a similar denial of candidacy on the same grounds (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 24 April 2003). RG
