The key target of Armenia's political forces is 25%-38% of the voters,
who have no yet decided who they will vote for, political expert,
Director of the Armenian Branch of the CIS Institute Alexander Markarov
said during a Yerevan-Moscow TV bridge on the parliamentary elections
in Armenia.
The Sociometer Center forecasts that during the May 6 parliamentary
elections the ruling Republican Party of Armenia will secure 37% of
the votes, Prosperous Armenia - 34%, the Armenian National Congress -
8.5%, Orinats Yerkir - 6.7%, the ARFD - 6.7% and Heritage - 5.5%.
Markarov said that the rivalry among the participant parties was
developing in three directions: among the coalition forces, among the
opposition forces and among the government and the opposition. "And
their advantage is not their programs but their charismatic
personalities. The highlight of their campaigns is social problems,
but they prefer blaming the government to offering specific solutions.
The only parties who give any heed to the country's foreign policy,
particularly, the Nagorno- Karabakh problem and Armenian-Turkish
relations, are the ARFD and Heritage," Markarov said.
He said that it is very important for the regime to conduct fair
elections.
Employee of the Oriental Studies Institute of the Russian Academy of
Sciences Alexander Skakov said that fair and free elections would give
Armenia a chance to improve its international image and to strengthen
its relations with Russia.
