    THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION ASSESSED BY THE FORCES THAT HAVEN'T PARTICIPATED IN THE ELECTION READ COUNT:

    February 19 2013

    "The election has been rigged another time, once again, anew, and
    every one of us knows about that. While the regime is in power in
    Armenia, there will be no free and fair elections," Zoya Tadevosyan,
    a member of the Armenian National Congress (ANC), said during
    a conversation with www.aravot.am assessing the results of the
    presidential election in Armenia. Then she added: "Not only we -
    members of commissions and the mass media - but also the people
    witnessed that. A situational phenomenon that is a fact and has
    witnesses is more important than assessments, since a fact cannot
    be assessed, it can be asserted. You can assert that the election
    has been rigged. It has been rigged shamelessly and savagely. And
    this is considered as high treason, a crime, for which officials
    should hastily leave and be held accountable in accordance with the
    legal procedure." Ms. Tadevosyan also informed that 25 members of the
    Armenian National Congress (ANC) had carried out a monitoring mission
    on the election day, as a result of which they will make a statement
    soon. Vardan Bostanjyan, a member of the Prosperous Armenia Party
    (PAP), thinks otherwise. He said: "I haven't seen a situation when
    there was any obstacle to any of the candidates. I think that in
    terms of objectivity, the election was held as it should be. The
    results of the election convince me even more, since Bagratyan
    and Raffi Hovhannisyan were candidates, and at the end of the day,
    our political forces are represented at the moment. At least as far
    as the above-mentioned persons are concerned, different levels were
    represented. However, every one of us is convinced that the office of
    presidency will be entrusted to the incumbent president insofar as he
    has been an active participant in the process of liberalization and
    has made contribution in that regard." Anush Sedrakyan, the deputy
    leader of the Free Democrats Party, in her turn, said regarding this:
    "80 percent of the Armenian electorate had opposition sentiment, but
    it didn't fully conceive the essence of being opposition, as far as
    the ideas are concerned. There wasn't a choice between two ideological
    programs. There was a choice between a bad social condition, unequal
    economic competition, emigration, and some possible alternative.

    Naturally, this distribution of votes was absolutely logical. It is
    a different matter that the opposition hasn't been able to explain
    its ideology to the people for a long time, since the people's agenda
    doesn't include the issue of an alternative ideology; they just want
    a change of the situation. The results of the election showed that
    the opposition camp can consolidate and jointly represent itself,
    if there is some constructive ideology. It largely depends also on
    Raffi Hovhannisyan's steps, how he will direct the electorate that
    trusted him." Tatev HARUTYUNYAN
