    68% of the electorate in Yerevan are informed about the elections of
    May 31 and are preparing to vote; this is the data the President of
    the Sociological Association Gevorg Petrosyan presented at a press
    conference today. He said this would be a high turnout. "Such level of
    participation is usually registered during presidential elections, the
    turnout at local elections is lower, as a rule," Gevorg Poghosyan said.

    Although no surveys have been conducted on the chances of the political
    forces running for the Yerevan City Council, Gevorg Poghosyan considers
    that there are two forces that could get 40%, thus ensuring the
    majority in the City Council. According to the sociologist, these
    forces are the Republican Party of Armenia and the Armenian National
    Congress. Having studied the disposition of the public preceding the
    elections, the sociologist arrived at the conclusion that everything
    should be done to avoid not only politicizing, but also criminalizing
    the forthcoming elections.
