YEREVAN. – Armenia’s elections differ from Russia’s elections, and they are a very important test for Armenia, capital Yerevan’s Regional Studies Center Director Richard Giragosian said during a press conference on Friday.   

“The [Armenian parliamentary] elections in May must register a serious improvement from the previous elections. President Serzh Sargsyan’s and PM Tigran Sargsyan’s personal promises must become a reality,” Giragosian stated and added: “This is a challenge and a test for Armenia’s authorities. This is also an opportunity to move forward and to show that the promises are being kept.”     

As per the analyst, elections are not just voting on election day, but, also, raising the level of political discussions.
