“The only peculiarity of this election campaign is that political
forces participating in the electoral process established joint
headquarters,”Chairman of the Union of Political Scientists of Armenia
Hmayak Hovhannisyan told a meeting of the joint election monitoring
headquarters today.

In return, former Foreign Minister, Prosperous Armenia Party member
Vartan Oskanian blamed the decision of the authorities not to
participate in any debates.

“They had nothing to show, nothing to say to the people, therefore
they rejected debate challenges,” he said.

Yesterday’s rally of Prosperous Armenia Party is evidence that society
is ready for free and fair elections, Mr. Oskanian stressed.
