Special for the Armenian Weekly
My name is Ardavasd Ardhaldjian and I am a high school junior. I moved to Armenia from Massachusetts when I was nine years old. My passions include outdoor individual sports like hiking and running, as well as playing video games and hanging out with friends. My passions definitely do not include politics and sitting in a classroom for 19 hours watching citizens fulfill their civic duty. On April 2, however, I was an election observer in the 2017 Armenian Parliamentary Elections.

Accurate and well-written article about the elections. I can attest to it because I was there.
Interesting insight into what goes on at Armenian polls. Thanks Ardavast for sharing.
Thanks for this glimpse into the election process. Did you feel like people were brought in in a organized fashion? My son was also an observer and told me that sick, elderly people were accompanied to vote, even with bleeding wounds and that groups were brought in by bus. I bet that kills the enthusiasm for anyone !!!!
