	Armenia - Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
		Armenia (country), republic in western Asia, bordered by Georgia on the north, Azerbaijan on the east and the Azerbaijani exclave of Naxçývan (Nakhichevan’) on the southwest, Iran on the south, and Turkey on the west.
		Armenia was the most ethnically homogeneous republic of the 15 republics that made up the USSR, and the country is still characterized by a high degree of ethnic homogeneity.
		Armenia’s constitution was approved by referendum in July 1995, replacing the 1978 constitution of the Soviet period.

	Human Rights Watch: Europe and Central Asia : Armenia
		Elections in the former Soviet Union are stolen all the time, but governments get away with it by stifling democratic institutions.
		We believe that the widespread pattern of violations that we found in Armenia -- combined with the climate of impunity for their perpetrators -- is indicative of the government's lack of commitment to the rule of law.
		In 1996, Armenia applied for membership in the Council of Europe, an organization whose primary role is to strengthen democracy, human rights and the rule of law throughout its member states.

	Ambassador Arman Kirakossian’s New Year 2004 Address to the Armenian-American Community
		The parliamentary elections in May produced, for the first time in post-independence history, a coalition government of three parties that submitted a serious program for democratic and economic development, educational and science reforms, fighting corruption, and further liberalization of the economic and business environment.
		The elections were vigorously and passionately contested, and all the candidates adhered to constitutional norms of the elections process and appealing the election results, helping maintain the much-needed domestic political stability in Armenia, which is essential given the unresolved nature of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and the unstable international environment in the region.
		Armenia and Artsakh remain committed to a peaceful settlement of the conflict, while continuing to maintain and improve the combat readiness of their Armed Forces.

	UNHCR - Armenia: After the 1996 Presidential Elections
		The parliamentary elections and the constitutional referendum of 5 July 1995 were regulated by the 1977 Soviet Republic of Armenia Constitution, the changes and additions to constitutional law passed on 27 March 1995, the 2 April 1991 Referendum Law with subsequent changes and additions and the 4 April 1995 National Assembly Election Law.
		Immediately after the elections, Union for Justice, a bloc of opposition parties, accused the Government of unprecedented levels of forgery in the elections and of using brute force to achieve its targets.
		Elections, privatization and new legislation are, in the eyes of a disillusioned electorate, merely the covers under which a small corrupt clique can concentrate wealth and power in its own hands, and at the same time present to international observers a picture of transition to democracy and the market economy.

		He presented the preliminary statement of the mission, according to which, the election process passed in an atmosphere of cynicism, frustration and anxiety, evidenced by low voter turnout and their lack of confidence in the objectivity of electoral commissions.
		Noteworthy is the fact that approximately one-third of the candidates registered for the elections to majoritarian seats in the National Assembly surprisingly withdrew.
		He also said that Armenia and the Armenian people have corresponding potential for holding democratic elections and the expression of a political will on the part of the leaders of the country are more important here.

		YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) -- Prime Minister Robert Kocharian won a decisive victory in Armenia's presidential runoff, a race declared legitimate by international monitors despite some cases of fraud.
		In spite of their similar positions on Armenia's two top issues, Demirchian "has no intention" of accepting a government post under the new president, Khachatrian said.
		Electoral fraud is a highly charged issue in Armenia, since former President Levon Ter-Petrosian narrowly won a 1996 poll that was widely believed to be rigged in his favor.

		There were only one or two cases of shooting during the 1999 elections, no calls for civil unrest during the 2003 presidential and parliamentary elections although the street protests were huge, and demands that Kocharian leave office in 2004 were largely peaceful in nature even if riot police went on the rampage instead.
		Armenia’s main opposition parties see the arrest as a warm-up for crackdowns against government critics prior to the country’s May 2007 parliamentary elections, or against those who would question the vote’s conduct.
		The Assembly attaches particular importance to the organisation and conduct of the forthcoming parliamentary elections in spring 2007 and the presidential elections in 2008.

	Elections cannot uproot entrenched corruption
		Like most of the recent elections held in former Soviet states, they were marred by serious flaws: official interference, extensive procedural irregularities and a strong pro-government bias in the media.
		The elections in Kazakhstan are only the latest example of this corrosive phenomenon in a part of the world whose democratic performance has been steadily slipping backwards.
		And with a raft of elections scheduled for this year and next in Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Moldova, the impact of corruption is a matter of grave concern.

	Parliamentary Elections Held May 25 in Armenia
		The United States agrees with the preliminary assessment of the May 25 parliamentary elections in Armenia, issued by the joint International Election Observation Mission (IEOM) of ODIHR [Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights], the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
		International observers noted a number positive developments in these elections, including the diverse choice of candidates and parties in the proportional contest, the relative equality of campaign opportunities enjoyed by the various candidates, parties and electoral blocs, and the generally balanced electoral coverage provided by state-run television.
		The markedly mixed assessment of Sunday's elections is particularly disappointing considering the great progress that Armenia has otherwise made over the past 11 years in building a modern society of which its people and government can be justly proud.

		As for Armenia, it is unlikely that anyone is going to ensure that the electoral law functions because the stakes are too high.
		I think the NK elections were a model of the upcoming elections in Armenia in 2007 and 2008.
		In fact, the only thing that will allow free, fair and transparent elections in Armenia will be if a candidate close to the rulign regime really has the support of the people so that falsifications are unecessary or the international community warns Armenia of sanctions and possible fallout if they don’t.

		The 2003 presidential elections in Armenia led to Robert Kocharian's second-term victory after two rounds of voting.
		The transparency and fairness of the elections were widely criticised, particularly by the OSCE, the US Government, and the European Council.
		Although the elections have not contributed to a positive image of Armenia as a democratic country, it is believed that the re-election of Kocharian has to some extent guaranteed the country's stability.

	Blogrel » Elections 2007 - Deception point
		These are the first elections, where the President of Armenia is not on anybodies side (not yet, and he has every reason not to join any camp), and that adds a deal of surprise into the whole process.
		These are the first elections where the combined effect of trying to meet the Council of Europe membership obligations and commitments and Millenium Challanges Project Eligibility Criteria; coupled with the growing discontent of the Armenian Diaspora with the downfall of democratic values in Armenia will come to action.
		In his words, these Armenians will never allow their country to turn into a totalitarian state because private money transfers (which, by the way, are as big as neighboring Azerbaijan’s earnings from the sale of its energy resources in one year) are a deciding factor in the survival of the Armenian economy.

		The first tender of 2003, scheduled for January, was postponed, preventing viewers from accessing A1+ before the presidential elections.
		Armenia’s print media enjoy relative freedom but are largely controlled by political parties and wealthy businessmen, which dampens outlets’ objectivity.
