I am keeping tabs on international news, and the first tv channel to report from outside was the “Al Jazeera” English network. The elections have been running on most news channels’ “tickers” all day, but Al Jazeera ran pictures and commentary first.

I am paraphrasing quotes from the report:

“Armenians are going to the polls today…” , “Pro Government parties are expected to sweep the elections”.. “There are fears of vote rigging…none of the elections so far have been deemed fair”

Not much in the way of information, but the word “sweep” is a strong one. Reuters are covering the events, so I assume this is where the footage is coming from.

Of course Armenian Public television is reporting the elections as having “no violations” yet. Everything is rosy in the land of H1.
