    ICES MISSION HEAD: SARGSYAN'S YELLOW CARD MAY BE FOLLOWED BY RED ONE

    February 25, 2013 - 16:36 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - The head of the International expert Center for
    Electoral Systems (ICES) mission disagrees that the presidential
    elections in Armenia lacked competitiveness.

    "With Prosperous Armenia, Dashnaktsutyun and Armenian National
    Congress having failed to nominate candidates, the elections somewhat
    lost acuteness. However, the presence of such candidates as ex-Prime
    Minister Hrant Bagratyan and ex-Foreign Minister Raffi Hovannisian
    added intrigue to the electoral process," Alexander Tsinker said.

    "Serzh Sargsyan was the only leader in this struggle. Hovannisian's
    gaining 37% of votes merely testifies to a fair number of
    anti-government protesters, rather than his personal popularity.

    To Sargsyan, people meant to show that the yellow card may be followed
    by a red one, should no drastic change occur in the country's social,
    economic and political life," Tsinker said.
