Take Action! Become an Election Observer in May

The 2007 Parliamentary Election scheduled for 12 May is considered critical to the process of democratization in Armenia. Some even consider that the election is the most important parliamentary vote in Armenia’s recent 15-year history as an independent nation.

Take Action! Become an ELECTION OBSERVER this Spring!
