Armenian Presidential Election Propaganda Blogs

The Armenian Observer posts an interesting entry on the continuing politicization of the local blogosphere ahead of next month’s presidential election. With society somehow polarizing here between two candidates diametrically opposed to each other albeit with a larger mass of society in between, Observer notes the sudden appearance of a multitude of anti-Sargsyan and anti-Ter-Petrossian blogs in Armenia.

Recent trends and developments in the Armenian blogosphere, whereby a range of extremely intolerant propaganda-blogs have sprang up, and have started attacking all and everyone around in the blogosphere - have taken the fun away from blogging. Instead of being the enjoyable personal hobby it once was, blogging now is increasingly becoming a risky business, a hostile environment, where you risk being attacked and harassed for your views.
