Yerevan, May 22. /Mediamax/. Political scientist, Director of the
Caucasian Media Institute Aleksandr Iskandarian stated today that from
the point of view of the international community, the parliamentary
elections in Armenia were "a serious step in the direction of electoral
development".
Mediamax reports that the political scientist noted that the
international observers gave a quite high assessment to the elections
in Armenia, and this is of serious importance for the formation of a
positive image of the country. Aleksandr Iskandarian noted that the
given assessment was "especially jealously perceived by Azerbaijan".
According to the political scientist, "it would be possible to cheat
the international observers if they were assessing the political
culture of Armenia, but they were assessing the technologies of the
electoral process, and they were not cheated from this point of view".
Aleksandr Iskandarian also stressed that "a serious step in the
direction of development of the political system became the fact that
the voting process of Armenian electors for the first time was not
of mass emotional character, but a rational one".
