By Julia Hakobyan

For 12 years Armenia has hosted foreign election monitors. And for 12 years those monitors have, mostly, filed the same report: “. . . failed to meet international standards”; “. . . free but not transparent”.

The May 12 parliamentary vote will be witnessed by several hundred such observers from 25 countries, bought to Armenia by several international organizations. Additionally, some 4,500 Armenians will also observe.
