French MP: Armenian presidential election results can not be considered as victory

The results of the presidential elections held in Armenia on Monday can not be considered as a victory taking into account the total lack of competitors, French MP Nathalie Goulet told Trend on Wednesday.

"As a matter of fact the real master of the country will remain Russia, and Armenia did not win any part of sovereignty in these elections, on the contrary, it is a master lost for the population and the people of Armenia," Goulet wrote Trend in an e-mail.
Goulet believes that the results of the elections will not bring any change to the current situation, given the promises of the campaign on the opening of the Khojaly airport and etc.

On Monday, Feb.18 the presidential elections were held in Armenia. According to the results of the elections, Serzh Sargsyan reelected as the country's president scoring 58.64 percent of the votes, First Foreign Minister of Armenia Raffi Hovannisian ranked second scoring 36.75 percent of votes, while Former Prime Minister Hrant Bagratyan ranked third scoring 2.15 percent.
"Armenia is and will remain a muppet in the hand of Moscow, and I hope that a real change will come from the Armenian society itself. I hope the civil society will be able to come over a real democracy, and the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe can help them in this," Goulet said.

However, according to Goulet, now the situation in the region is very scary and the Minsk Group is working to slow down Armenian Provocations, one of which is the intention of Armenian government to settle Syrian refugees with Armenian roots coming from Syria.

The Armenian government settles them in occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh and other territories of Lachin and Kalbajar," Goulet said.
