Authoritarianism is still present in Armenia even though the country is
moving towards democracy as power here belongs to the president rather
than the government, political expert Garik Keryan told journalists
on Wednesday.
He said that the Republican Party, Prosperous Armenia and the Armenian
National Congress are the most active campaigners. The ARFD, Orinats
Yerkir and Heritage are less active, while the Communist Party and
Democratic Armenia are passive.
"The Republicans are using all the means they have to win the
elections. But the problem here is that they are the only party
admitting that they are responsible for the current social-economic
situation while their coalition partners Prosperous Party and Orinats
Yerkir decline any responsibility," Keryan said.
