Abstract:
The modern democratic states consider the concept of political rights, especially the right to vote, as a fundamental pillar above all other rights. The political rights are dominant only due to their implementation: people have an opportunity to exercise their power on the one hand and transfer their power without any political upheavals on the other.In this regard, it is worth highlighting that political rights are one of the cornerstone rights for the modern democratic rule of law. According to this thesis, we can persist that the problems of the realization of political rights are decisive and highly important even for the declared and transitional democratic states. In this respect, the Republic of Armenia is no exception. These rights are among the most acute social problems that young Armenian democracy has faced after the independence.The problems of the implementation of electoral rights have objective and subjective reasons. Among the objective reasons, we can note the transitional character of Armenian democracy. In term of subjective reasons, firstly, the disproportionate punishment for crimes directed against political rights should be pointed out, which are the central obstacles to the implementation of political rights.
