Armenia is rated among the "Partly Free" countries in the Freedom in
the World 2013: Democratic Breakthroughs in the Balance report issued
by Freedom House.
The report says Armenia's political rights rating improved due to the
absence of postelection violence following parliamentary balloting in
May and the entry of an authentic opposition party into the
legislature.
Armenia got 5 points for the political rights and 4 for the civil rights.
Neighboring Georgia and Turkey also got "Partly Free" status, unlike
Azerbaijan, Iran and Russia which are rated among "Not Free" states.
Nagorno-Karabakh, included in the disputed territories section, has
improved rating of political rights (5 points) and is rated among
"Partly Free" territories.
