    ABSENT VOTERS ARE PRESIDENT'S MOST POWERFUL RESOURCE, SAYS ARMENIAN EXPERT

    The Armenian citizens not residing in the country appear to be the
    most powerful resource increasing the incumbent president's re-election
    chances, according Armen Badalyan, a political engineer.

    At a news conference on Thursday, the expert said that Serzh Sargsyan
    can be already considered elected thanks to such a resource.

    "Those who are absent from the country are his biggest resource because
    their votes will be rigged in the president's favor. That makes up
    about 300,000-400,000 ballots," he said. "His supporters and the part
    of the society which always votes for the authorities, include about
    200,000 people. In case the Rule of Law party's electorate and some
    from Prosperous Armenia vote [in the president's favor], the number
    will amount to 1 million votes. So the others won't catch up with
    the figure, no matter their votes," he said.

    The expert noted that a candidate's political platform is just one
    component of the campaign, which should enable him to do everything
    possible to sound convincing to the voter.
