In Armenia, voters went to the polls today to elect the next
president. Incumbent Serzh Sargsyan faced a number of challengers, but
the campaign has been marked by controversy. One candidate was shot
and wounded last month, another has been on a hunger strike. And some
candidates say they won’t even vote in today’s poll. The campaign has
led to apathy by many voters who do not see the elections as a way to
change social and economic conditions. FSRN’s MJ del Valle spoke to
some of them and files this report.
