Yerevan, May 14. /Mediamax/. The Head of the "Sociometer" Sociologic
Research Center Aharon Adibekian believes that 25% of electors’ votes
"evaporated" during the parliamentary elections in Armenia.
Mediamax reports that, speaking at a news conference in Yerevan today,
he stated that "the elections were organized considerably better
than the previous ones, but I, as a citizen, am not content with
their results". According to Adibekian, "25% of votes evaporated,
and those 25% equal to 25 seats in the parliament".
The sociologist believes that "not 5, but 8-9 parties should have
been represented in the parliament".
He named the oppositional parties as guilty of the lost percents, which
"built their strategy on the emotional and not the rational basis".
Aharon Adibekian noted that the majority of forecasts of "Sociometer",
done on the eve, came true.
He explained the success of the Republican Party of Armenia "by the
organizational resource" and "the good feedback". "The heads of the
party received information on the work done on a regular basis",
the sociologist stated.
