As obvious as it is that the priorities of our agenda are related to external challenges, I shall nevertheless record that this quality of local elections, when the citizen is the Master and Decider, is our long-held dream come true. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan wrote this on Facebook Monday morning—and in connection with Sunday’s local elections in several communities of Armenia, News.am reports.

He added as follows: "I know and understand the viewpoint that it would be better if the elections were rigged, but we would have a higher level of security. But my conviction has been, is, and will be that it is the long-standing practice of election-rigging that has undermined the system of state resistance emerging in the early [19]90s and led to security disasters through chain reactions.
