POLITICAL ANALYST: PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS DID NOT REVEAL TRUE CORRELATION OF POLITICAL FORCES

If Yerevan elections did not immediately follow the presidential
elections, they would be perceived as local elections. But since they
immediately follow the presidential elections, the results of which
are being disputed, they become political in content, chairman of the
Union of Political Scientists of Armenia Hmayak Hovhannisyan told a
news conference today.
According to him, the presidential elections did not reveal the
political and ideological preferences of Armenian citizens or the
true correlation of the political forces because under the serious
social polarization, not only the key parliamentary forces but also
representatives of left-sided political forces did not run in the
elections.
"No discussions were held during the presidential elections regarding
the way the country should develop," said the political scientist.
Asked about the likelihood of formation of united opposition
headquarters for Yerevan Elections, Hmayak Hovhannisyan said that
it will not be a success if the opposition forces unite around the
shaky non-governmental platform.
The Central Electoral Commission of Armenia (CEC) has registered
the lists of all seven political forces for the May 5 elections of
Yerevan Council of Elders. Six parties (Republican Party of Armenia,
Orinats Yerkir Party, Prosperous Armenia Party, Armenian National
Congress, ARFD, Mission) and one bloc ("Barev, Yerevan") run in
Yerevan elections. The election campaign will kick off on April 7,
and will run through May 3.
