A few thoughts on the presidential election in Armenia on February 18, 2013; A report to the Steering Committee of the Civil Society Forum.
The recent presidential election in Armenia exhibited many features common to a post-communist state in transition to a democratic form of government. The election begs the question if the transition to a functioning democracy will be successful in Armenia or if democratic institutions will become a pure façade. If the latter happens then society will face the choice of either rebelling to replace its rulers or acquiescing in rule by governments which lacks democratic legitimacy.
