ARMENIA'S SOCIETY TERROR-STRICKEN

Armenia's society remains terror-stricken, and citizens cannot freely
express their will, the political scientist Andreas Ghukasyan told
journalists in Yerevan on Wednesday.
"Citizens' legal rights are not properly protected. Coercion was one
of the instruments during this year's parliamentary elections. The
elections did not show any new quality nor did we see the promises
of free and fair elections honored," he said.
Armenia's government to be formed soon will be "stop-gap government,"
which is actually a defeat for the political system.
"Both the opposition and the authorities suffered defeat. The former
failed to bring about changes, the latter failed to resolve problems
and form a government alone," Ghukasyan said.
The expert forecasts larger-scale emigration. He pointed out civil
society's role in the May 6 elections.
"This had its impact on the elections, which caused many to realize
that the process would be developing and play a greater role in
further political reforms," Ghukasyan said.
