Armenia’s Opposition Closely Following Developments in Russia

The Armenian National Congress (HAK) is attentively following events following elections in Armenia’s strategic partner, Russia, member of HAK’s foreign relations committee Vladmir Karapetyan told Epress.am.

“We hope that the Russian authorities, political forces and society in this situation will find solutions that will promote democracy and stability in that country,” he said.

Recall, unprecedented numbers of people have taken to the streets protesting the hotly contested Dec. 4 State Duma elections in which the ruling United Russia party, according to official figures, gathered nearly half of the votes. The opposition insists that the results would have been even worse for the ruling party if the polls had been run fairly.
