What could happen at end of election campaign - expert explains 

ArmInfo.  What will happen at the end of the election campaign?  This question was posed by expert and member of the Alternative Projects group, Vahe Hovhannisyan.

According to him, a correct understanding of the situation on the  first day of the campaign and the correct conclusions will determine  the outcome on June 7. The development of events is determined not by  the high approval ratings of the opposition, but by the low approval  ratings of the authorities. This significantly changes the situation,  since the tools used to combat the opposition will not solve the main  problem, but will instead lead to new scenarios. The most genuine  consolidation has occurred in the opposition camp, because it is no  longer a question of individuals or positions, but of principles, and  society has recognized this. "The people, all segments of society,  are universally demanding change, and in this situation, the  authorities are hindering policy discussions. This is the first such  case in the history of Armenia. There is only one explanation: the  authorities, in general, have nothing to say, nothing to offer their  people in terms of a program. And they will do everything to hinder  the programmatic work of others. We must not fall into this trap.  Expect a 'Moldovan' scenario, beware of a 'Romanian' one. It is  possible that the authorities will obstruct the participation of one  or another force through the courts and/or attempt to annul them  after an electoral defeat. It is important to remember that the new  National Assembly does not begin its work immediately. Therefore, we  must be prepared for such events," Vahe Hovhannisyan noted.

He emphasized that there is a good chance of forming a new, strong  government, since the current authorities do not enjoy the clear and  open support of any social group. "The authorities are losing across  all social strata, losing in Yerevan, other cities, and even  villages. Pashinyan has created new artificial social classes. He is  the leader of the elite and the social strata vulnerable to  infoterrorism. It's crucial to understand this in order to choose the  right targets. We need to communicate effectively with the state  system and patiently combat this very infoterrorism. And one of the  most important principles is: be honest with each other, within the  opposition, and with society," the political scientist concluded.

As a reminder, Armenia will hold its next parliamentary elections on  June 7, with 19 political forces - 17 parties and two blocs -  participating.
