Political scientist: Elections in Armenia turned into a show with a  false agenda

ArmInfo.The vote in favor of Nikol Pashinyan and the "former authorities" was led by the false agenda laid down in the basis of the elections. Meanwhile, it is no  secret that before the elections, the reluctance to see both  Pashinyan and the "former authorities" in the parliament prevailed in  the public consciousness and mood. Leader of the Constructive Party  of Armenia, political scientist Andrias Ghukasyan, expressed a  similar opinion to ArmInfo.

"Our society was shown a show with a pre-planned and agreed outcome.  The highlight of the show was the fictional threat of civil war, if  the people do not vote for Pashinyan. As part of the show, swearing,  insults, a demonstration of an outrageous degree of hatred, hammers,  sickles and similar stage attributes were used.  All these actions  had nothing to do with democratic elections and the election results  clearly demonstrated this, "he stressed.

According to Ghukasyan, as a result of the successful formation of a  false agenda, citizens voted in favor of returning the Karabakh clan,  an oligarchy from the times of all three former presidents, to the  parliament, and in favor of keeping the parliamentary tribune under  the control of pro-Russian forces. According to him, the Constructive  Party is not going to accept the results of elections held in such  inappropriate conditions. Especially in light of the dubiously high  results of Pashinyan and the complete inability of Robert Kocharian  to exercise control over the election process, thereby realizing his  voluntarily undertaken mission.

Returning to the possible consequences of the activities of the  parliament of the 8th convocation, the political scientist stressed  that, taking into account the fact of the formation of the  pro-Russian forces, the new National Assembly will do everything to  fail the process of implementing the Armenia-EU Cooperation  Agreement. In particular, the process of fulfilling Yerevan's  obligations to bring the country's legislation up to European  criteria within a five-year period. Or it implements these  obligations in a way that will lead to the minimization of  practically all the possibilities arising from this agreement.

"The parliament of the 8th convocation does not reflect the interests  of Armenia, reflecting the interests of the oligarchy, the  continuation of the current disappointing socio-economic situation  and capitulators. In foreign policy, Armenia remained under the  influence of Moscow, and in domestic policy, under the influence of  the oligarchy, which automatically excludes the possibility of  economic development. All this it is quite obvious and society has  quite consciously given its consent to all this, "Ghukasyan summed  up.  

According to the preliminary results of the CEC, Pashinyan's "Civil  Contract" party won the early parliamentary elections in Armenia by  687,251 votes(53.92%) . Pashinyan won in all regions of Armenia,  including Yerevan. Of the remaining 25 political forces that took  part in the elections, only the "Armenia" bloc (by 268,165 votes-  21.04%) , and the "I Have Honor" bloc (5.23% ),  as the third force  provided by the legislation, will be represented in the new  parliament.  All other political forces together collected 15.7%.  Of  the 2.578 million citizens eligible to vote, 1,281,174 or 49.4% of  voters took part in the voting.
