“People take interest in backstage processes, rather than in election”

"Everyone understands that the incumbent President is obviously the leader among the presidential candidates. Another two candidates – Raffi Hovannisian and Hrant Bagratian are famous on the political scene and they are running as representatives of the political elite. And there are also candidates who are participating in the election for the sake of participation, so to speak,” political scientist Alexander Markarov said, when commenting on the upcoming election and presidential candidates during a press conference today.

Another participant of the press conference, media expert Samvel Martirosian noted that society takes greater interest in the developments relating to the electoral process, rather than in the election itself.

‘’Everyone complains that the current election is uninteresting, but in reality this subject is now animatedly discussed by social network users. These are not political discussions. People take interest in the backstage processes,” he said.
