Political scientist: Authorities clearly intent on falsifying  elections

ArmInfo.Just three or four days into the campaign, it is becoming clear that the authorities are moving toward election fraud. Vahe Hovhannisyan, a  member of the "Alternative Projects" group, writes in his latest article, citing statements by RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who  repeatedly links local political forces to foreign powers.

"What do Putin, Lukashenko, and others have to do with this? He  clearly sees that since the start of the campaign, he has been losing  in every city and settlement. In light of this, he is resorting to  election falsification. Neither the West, North, nor South have any  connection to these elections," Hovhannisyan noted.

"These elections answer only one question: Are we choosing Armenia or  'Western Azerbaijan'? Are we choosing the chance to live in Armenia,  or will we repeat the fate of the people of Artsakh? Since he has  decided to sabotage policy debates, we must use every means to speak  with our people and explain this simple truth. The opposition must  remain vigilant and quickly identify which scenario he will use to  disrupt the normal course of the elections the 'Moldovan' scenario,  the 'Romanian' scenario, or the 'Nikol' scenario," the analyst  stated.

As a reminder, parliamentary elections will be held in Armenia on  June 7. Nineteen political forces 17 parties and 2 blocs have  registered to participate.
