YEREVAN. - During its 14 years of membership to the Council of Europe,
Armenia has entirely lost the ability of holding real elections,
former Ombudswoman said.
Speaking during the debates on Armenia's European integration, Larisa
Alaverdyan said this happened with the help of CoE. The greatest
obstacle to Armenia's way to Europe is our political culture, and in
particular the absence of the mentioned culture, she said.
"We do not notice the setback. We consider us only as derivatives
from Customs Union and Russia or EU. I am confident we must look for
problems in ourselves," she said.
