Yerevan Elects New Municipal Assembly

Yesterday, May 31, the municipal elections were held in Yerevan. Unsurprisingly the Republican party won the majority of the votes, and its candidate, the incumbent Gagik Beglaryan, will be reappointed as mayor of Yerevan.

I wrote an article about the elections for the Armenian Weekly that you can read here, with a follow-up article published here.

A new blog presented by Hetq Online called Footprints, which I am editing, has published some opinions about the Yerevan municipal elections that can be read here. Hetq Online itself has plenty of news you can read about the elections here.

There's a lot of information about the fairness of the Yerevan elections on ArmeniaLiberty.org as well--check it out here.
