On the eve of the elections in Armenia two structures were created
which will monitor the elections. But the effect of both is zero.
The joint headquarters which includes the Armenian National Congress,
ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Prosperous Armenia has not detected any special
violations of the campaign. This headquarters is like a non-aggression
pact. The parties agreed not to notice each other's violations. At
the same time, they shut an eye on the Republicans just in case it
wants to notice their violations.
The structure adjunct to the parliament hardly delivered a code of
ethics how not to deceive voters. The social networks and the mass
media enjoyed the sharpness of Davit Harutyunyan's mind.
In the meantime, ten days are left till the elections and the rules
and laws are violated at every corner. For instance, civil servants
are forced to attend the rallies of the president otherwise they
will lose their jobs. The same people are not allowed to attend the
rallies of the opposition. Republicans walk door to door and register
everyone and demand to present a passport.
Prosperous Armenia is openly bribing people in rural areas, leasing
tractors and smaller machines. Nikol Pashinyan is not allowed to hold
rallies and it is not considered a violation. Nobody notices these
violations, as if it is a regular practice of the election campaign.
Why were these structures created? Do the participants of the election
recognize them or will there be post-election events? After all
the meaning of agreements and different headquarters is to prevent
post-election processes. Joining the headquarters somehow ties the
hands of its members who need to announce about violations now or
they will be shaking their hands after the fight.
In fact, after joining the opposition headquarters, Vardan Oskanyan
neutralized the post-election protests which might be initiated
by the Armenian National Congress. If the headquarters does not
criticize violations, it will actually recognize the legitimacy of
the elections. Especially if the Congress is election to parliament
and gets at least a few seats.
Only the Heritage keeps away from headquarters and latent agreements
on post-election events. A real campaign has been launched against the
Heritage and the Free Democrats. First they were accused of a deal
with Serzh Sargsyan, then by way of the Russian mass media latent
negotiations with Turkey. It did not have a significant influence
because it was too thin. However, the problem is that the Heritage
and the Free Democrats are chased not only by the government but also
by the opposition.
Apparently these parties are the only potential source of post-election
protests, and everyone would gladly neutralize them now.
It will meet the interests of the Russian special services which
are reluctant to see Armenian parties in parliament announcing about
review of relations with Russia.
