Armenia: Elections Close
May 12, 2007 21 46 GMT
Armenian parliamentary elections closed May 12 without incident, The
British Broadcasting Corp. reported. Results are expected to be
released within a day; the ruling Republican Party led by Prime
Minister Serzh Sarksyan is expected to win. The last election, held
in 2003, was ruled undemocratic by foreign monitors; monitors from
the Organization for Security and Cooperation of Europe are
monitoring this year’s election closely.
