"Despite authorities' efforts to view upcoming elections as administrative event, they can't escape the reality. These elections are a kind of test to reveal their ability of resisting internal political pressures," RA Liberal Party's leader Hovhannes Hovhannisyan told today a news conference. "Fair elections may enhance Armenia's image on international arena and produce positive changes in solving the country's domestic policy issues." Hovhannisyan stressed.

Mr. Hovhannisyan finds political forces to be in the middle of struggle, with ANC bearing the greatest share of responsibility. "Authorities should do their utmost to achieve independent and fair elections on May 31." Nevertheless, Liberal Party leader believes authorities do just the contrary.
