Armenians in the national Parliament has gone done to
2% in the recent 2008 elections
This and the other obstacles you have here indicate how
the right to vote and free elections do not ensure that
persons who belong to minorities will be effectively
represented or will be able effectively participate
politically unless minorities are not being completely set
aside in the electoral lottery where they are almost
consistently outvoted.
The voices of minorities in the world of political
representation, even in completely democratic systems,
tend to be barely audible, their presence almost invisible,
their interests too often unmet unless the obstacles to
their political representation and participation I have
described, especially those that are discriminatory, are
removed.
Merci.
