Political expert Manvel Sargsyan deems the current political developments in Armenia as natural, given the parliamentary forces’ decision not to join the presidential race over the lack of a free mechanism.

“Though the absence of free election mechanisms is not a new occurrence, political forces continue to be guided by secret deals,” the expert told a press conference.

“The ruling authorities are in charge of the current situation. They dictated the rule of the games,” Mr. Sargsyan said.

According to him, other countries’ experience proves peoples’ ability of self-organization and overthrowing the ruling authorities.
