Armenian people are tired of falsified elections. The emigration rate is growing, prompted by current desperate situation. We need drastic change to regain people’s faith,” Zurabyan said, urging for reforms. “The authorities aren’t ready for free and fair elections, only seeking to retain their seats at the expense of the weakening of our state,” he stressed.
