Russia
The parliamentary election in Armenia will be held on May 6, 2012.
Nine political parties will take part in the polls. VK asked several
experts to comment on the campaign and the possible results of
the vote.
Alexander Iskanderyan, the head of the Caucasus Institute, told VK that
the competition is fair and real. He believes that from 4 to 6 parties
will enter the parliament in the result. They are the Republican Party,
the Flourishing Armenia party, the Armenian National Congress, the
Dashnaktsutyun party and possibly the Heritage party and the Orinats
Yerkir party.
Alexander Markarov, the head of the Armenian office of the CIS
Countries Institute, told VK that the number of voters still undecided
for whom they will vote constitutes up to 30 per cent, which will
definitely affect the results of the polls.
Andrey Areshev, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Center
for Caucasus and Central Asia Studies, believes that the sitiuation
in Armenia is tense. That is why it's hard to predict any certain
results, he says. However it's pretty clear that all four major
political forces will enter the parliament.
