Political forces silent about election process May 7, 2012 - 03:00 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Parliamentary elections are over in Armenia. All the polling stations closed at 8pm. The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) of Armenia publishes updates on the election results following the closure of the polls, while the political forces hold press conferences, actively commenting on the election process. The opposition usually differs in this respect. However, not this time. This time all the forces resolved to keep silence, with both the opposition and ruling party members refusing to give any comments. A similar pattern is observed in social networks. Even the active social network users announced a Day of Silence. An impression is created that nobody wants to voice an opinion not to feel sorry for it later.
