YEREVAN. – Even though the Armenian authorities were able to create an impression of a legitimacy of their actions during elections, they did not fulfill the expectations of the citizenry.

Non-pro-government Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Press Secretary Tigran Urikhanyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am the above-said, reflecting on the results of the capital city Yerevan Council of Elders election, which was held on May 5, and on the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) final report on Armenia’s presidential election, which was conducted on February 18.

“In my personal view, the expectations of the body politic were not fulfilled under the seeming legitimacy which the authorities were able to secure,” Urikhanyan said.

As per the PAP spokesperson, the coalescence of the authorities and the ruling party is clearly seen, and this manifested itself in the recent presidential and Yerevan elections.
