Richard Giragosian: Authorities not to be blamed for lack of competition in the forthcoming elections

The forthcoming elections will be the least competitive in Armenian political history and will reflect the political reality in Armenia, Director of the Regional Research Center Richard Giragosian told a press conference today. However, according to him, unlike Uzbekistan and Belarus, we cannot blame the authorities for the situation. It’s not the President’s fault that he has no viable, strong opponents, Giragosian said.
