May 12 parliamentary election indicate that Armenia’s authorities have
won over the Armenian people, Head of the Helsinki Committee of
Armenia Avetis Ishkhanyan said at today’s press-conference.
"The people’s will was finally broken by the ruling regime. I think
these election are far from the democratic ones", he emphasized. In
his turn, Head of the Yerevan press-club Boris Navasardyan said the
society is unable today to effectively fight corruption in the
country. "Though I had multiply noted in the talk with the
international observers on the threshold of the parliamentary election
that the voting issue has already been solved, I still believe that
the situation developed in the country may be changed. Many of those
attending the election were sure that their voices were important. I
think that serious attitude to the choice of every citizen is able to
form the atmosphere of stability in the country", B. Navasardyan said.
