"The entire electoral campaign is a pogrom of Armenian civilization and democracy, i.e. 'oriental market' so to say," Hakobyan said, accusing "Prosperous Armenia" and Republican of organizing such pogrom. Marxist leader also commented upon the meeting conducted by President Serzh Sargsyan after elections.

"The President missed the proper moment for granting prisoners amnesty, anyway amnesty is historically important in terms of balancing forces. The President will not gain any dividends by declaring amnesty now because he should have done that upon inauguration to his post."
