Armenia’s politics are tough to understand. Armenia’s elections are
even tougher.
The parliamentary election campaign season is a mere 28 days and
1074 people are fighting for 131 seats.
[1]CivilNet.am will try to make the process understandable. You can
follow all the candidates in one district, or [2]the daily roundup of
who-said-what. You can see what [3]the organizations that are
following the elections are doing in the run-up to elections.
Or, you can attend or watch debates.[4] The first one was held last
Wednesday, with four of nine parties sending representatives. This
Wednesday, is the second of four debates. We think more parties will
participate. Attend if you can. Watch the livestream if you can. Or
watch the entire debate later the same day, here at
[5]Civilnet.am. These debates are held with the support of the US
Agency for International Development and Counterpart International
Armenia. They also enjoy the support of the Norwegian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. I say all this not just to say thank you to them all,
but also to stress the importance of providing such forums for the
candidates to speak to the people. Parliamentary campaigns have never
seen debates before and
we’re proud to be able to host them.
Finally, besides the daily election round-up, at the end of each week,
there will be a rare, special look at the craziness (yes, the
craziness) of the week before.
The first week’s round-up can be seen [6]here.
Don’t miss it.
Discussion is moderated by
Aram Abrahamyan
Editor-in-Chief of Aravot Daily
The event will take place at the
Ani Plaza Hotel Yerevan, Ani Hall,
on Wednesday, April 18 at 2 p.m.
To confirm your participation,
please call 010 500-119.
Number of places is limited.
