The Pre-Parliament movement of Armenia had predicted three months ago that the people will meet an impasse as a result of Monday’s presidential voting, since the elections have turned into a vote fraud mechanism where the “casino” always wins, the Pre-Parliament movement coordinator, analyst Garegin Chugaszyan noted during a pres conference on Saturday.      

In his words, it is apparent that the people have gone ahead of their constituents, and the post-election developments showed that the notions, according to which the people cannot stand up for their rights, were empty.     

“The oppositional arena [in Armenia] collapsed back in December [2012], but the latest developments showed that the people are organizing themselves,” Chugaszyan said.  

He assessed the present-day situation in the country as the first conscious struggle against the new colonial regime, and added that quick self-organization is the key task of this struggle
