Armenians vote in poll seen as test of democracy
Armenians began voting on Saturday in a parliamentary election seen as a test of democracy in the Caucasian country and a dress rehearsal for a presidential contest next year.
The Republican party led by Prime Minister Serzh Sarksyan - a trusted lieutenant and favored successor to President Robert Kocharyan - is expected to easily defeat the opposition when 2.3 million voters in ex-Soviet Armenia go to the polls. (Reuters)
