Arménie: un président par défaut
18 February 2013 | |
| News - Media |
Faute d'alternative crédible, Serge Sarkissian est assuré d'être réélu ce lundi. Même si un candidat a été victime d'une tentative d'assassinat et si un autre observe une grève de la faim pour protester contre un «scrutin truqué», l'élection présidentielle arménienne du 18 février est décrite comme «la plus ennuyeuse» que la petite république du sud du Caucase ait connue.
After a Short, Rocky Campaign, Armenians Vote Monday for President

| News - Media |
Armenians are voting for president on Monday. In a rarity for the former Soviet Union, Armenia will have a genuine multi-party contest. But the race has been rocky for this landlocked nation of 3.2 million people in the southern Caucasus. Of the eight original candidates, one has dropped out, a second refuses to vote, a third refuses to vote and is on hunger strike, a fourth was shot in an apparent assassination attempt, and a fifth fears arrest after Monday’s vote because he knew the suspected shooter.

L'ARMENIA AL VOTO: POCHE SORPRESE, MOLTE SPERANZE

Lunedì 18 lo stato caucasico sceglie il presidente. Favorito è Serzh Sarkisian, il capo di stato uscente. Tra Ue e Russia, l'Armenia cerca di uscire dalla lunga fase di transizione economica e politica. Gli armeni ci credono: le elezioni per scegliere il nuovo presidente, lunedì 18 febbraio, saranno più trasparenti di quelle parlamentari di maggio scorso e sicuramente più democratiche di quelle del 2008, che lasciarono il paese nel pieno di una turbolenza politica costata dieci morti negli scontri di piazza.
