/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Despite authorities’ efforts to view upcoming
elections as administrative event, they can’t escape the reality. These
elections are a kind of test to reveal their ability of resisting
internal political pressures," RA Liberal Party’s leader Hovhannes
Hovhannisyan told today a news conference. "Fair elections may enhance
Armenia’s image on international arena and produce positive changes in
solving the country’s domestic policy issues." Hovhannisyan stressed.

Mr. Hovhannisyan finds political forces to be in the
middle of struggle, with ANC bearing the greatest share of
responsibility. "Authorities should do their utmost to achieve
independent and fair elections on May 31." Nevertheless, Liberal
Party leader believes authorities do just the contrary.
